Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A solvent is a substance that can dissolve other substances to form a solution. Generally, the solvents are in a liquid state, but it can also be solid or gas. It can be a polar solvent like water that only dissolves polar solutes and can be non-polar like hexane, in which only non-polar solutes dissolve.
