The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Solvent**: The substance that dissolves the solute. It is usually present in a larger amount. - **Solute**: The substance that is dissolved in the solvent. It is usually present in a smaller amount. - **Solution**: The homogeneous mixture formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent. 2. **Analyzing the Given Statement**: - The statement provided is: "Solvent is formed by dissolving solute in a solution." - This statement is incorrect because it suggests that a solvent is created from a solute and a solution, which is not true. 3. **Correcting the Statement**: - The correct relationship is that when a solute is added to a solvent, a solution is formed. - Thus, the correct statement should be: "A solution is formed by dissolving a solute in a solvent." 4. **Examples to Illustrate the Concept**: - Example 1: When sugar (solute) is dissolved in water (solvent), we get sugar solution (solution). - Example 2: When common salt (solute) is dissolved in water (solvent), we get salt solution (solution). 5. **Conclusion**: - The original statement is incorrect. The correct understanding is that a solution is formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent. ---
