Dissolved substances - use lots at work (7)
I believe the answer is:
solutes
'dissolved substances' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'use lots at work' is the wordplay.
'at work' indicates an anagram.
'use'+'lots'='uselots'
'uselots' is an anagram of 'SOLUTES'.
