Is that sentence correct?
How to use 'refer to as' (or) 'refer to … as'? Meantime,should I use 'or' or 'and' in the sentence "How to use 'refer to as' (or) 'refer to … as'?"?

Thanks!

What is a "solute"?

What is a "solute"?

It is a substance dissolved in a solution.

Why are you using refer? It doesn't sound very natural to me, but this would depend on the wider context.

What do you imagine would go where your ellipsis is? Give us an example of what "refer to ... as" would look like. I don't know what you mean.

In answer to the OP's first question, yes it is correct.

1. We generally refer to plays as the theater, and films as movies.
2. The people we refer to as Net Worms are addicted to the Internet.
3.People who work in offices are usually referred to as "white collar workers".

Are the last two correct as well?

Thanks!

Is 'slovend' more commonly used than 'solute' while 'solute' is a professional term?

Thanks!

I assume you meant "solvent". The solvent is what the solute is dissolved in.

I agree with MikeNewYork's definitions of solute and solvent (like function not available in Android app.) Both are technical terms from chemistry.
