Dear student
 
A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. ... The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature.
