Why is water a solvent and salt the solute in a salt solution?
Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.
What things dissolves in water?
Polar molecules like sugar and ionic substances like salt will dissolve in water.
When salt is dissolves in water it actually breaks down into two different substances is salt composed of atoms or molecules?
salt is composed of Atoms. not Molecules. i know i am answering my own question but i found the answer.

What well be the problem of which dissolves better in water salt or baking soda?
Salt dissoves better in water as the molecules which go to make up the salt become invisable to our eyes as they disperse in the water. Wheareas the molecules in baking soda remain visible as seen by the milkiness of the water.

What can molecules do when dissolved in water?
Students will make a 2-D model of a salt crystal and use water molecule cut-outs to show how water dissolves salt. After seeing an animation of water dissolving.
