No, not all substances dissolve in water. Substances that are nonpolar, meaning that they don't have a dipole moment, will not be able to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. Only polar solutes will dissolve in polar solvents. Oil is an example of such a substance that is nonpolar and does not dissolve in water. There are also ionic compounds that are insoluble in water, such as silver bromide (AgBr), potassium sulfide (K2S), and lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4).

∙ 13y agoCertainly not!
Sulfur, for example, is not soluble in water.
Nor is gold.
Fats/oils and most products from crude oil (e.g. gasolines etc) are also not soluble in water.
Furthermore, whereas most salts are soluble on water, mercurous chloride and silver chloride are not.
What about glass? Does glass dissolve in water?
Well, yes is does, but it dissolves so slowly that glass in windows is still the material of choice, even in wet and rainy countries!

∙ 14y agoWater is a good solvent and is often referred to as the Universal Solvent. Substances such as sugar, salt, acid, and gas (especially oxygen and carbon dioxide) are known as hydrophilic (water-loving) substances, while those that do not mix well with water, such as fats and lipids, are known as hydrophobic (water-fearing) substances.
However, EVERY substance that can be dissolved by water also has a saturation point whereby NO ADDITIONAL substance can be added without a complete coagulation of the substance occuring. This happens even with salt and sugars.
Quick answer: No

∙ 14y agoWater can dissolve many materials to create a solution. For example salt dissolves into water. If the water is saturated, or full of salt in simple terms, the salt wont dissolve.

No' water will not dissolve ANY substance. For instance water will not dissolve candle wax.
However' water will dissolve SOME substances. For instance water will dissolve sugar or salt.

More dense liquids will settle to the botom, while the less dense liquids will either break up and scater around the water, or rest at the top

What must occur for a solution to form?
The correct answer is as follows: One Substance Must Dissolve In Another.
Does a substance that is insoluble have to be a solid?
Actually, an insoluble substance does not have to be a solid. Think of cooking oil. It is a liquid, however, it does not dissolve in water. Hope I helped!=) -Razzi (Delilah Hope) No an insoluble substance can be solid, liquid or gas. However, trying to dissolve one liquid into another (mixing them together) is referred to as immiscible. Mostly insoluble refers to dissolving a solid or gas into a liquid.
Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
A hydrophilic substance will dissolve in water. A hydroPHOBIC substance will not.
What is a liquid used to dissolve other substances?
Surprisingly Water is used as a solvent and is commonly considered the "Universal Solvent". This is due to it being the liquid that can dissolve the most substances out of any other liquid.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
What is the name of the substance that dissolve in liquid?
water
Is a solution a liquid that dissolves another substance?
No a solution is a liquid that has another substance dissolved in it.Added:When a solute ('the other substance') is dissolved in a solvent (liquid), this will result in a solution.
What is difference between a substance that is solube in water and one that is insolube in water?
There is no such thing as a soluble precipitate A precipitate a solid that is formed in a chemical reaction, therefor only a insoluble precipitate can occur, and the soluble would remain as a soluble solution. The difference between a soluble and insoluble precipitate is that a insoluble precipitate is incapable of dissolving in a liquid, and a solid is formed in the reaction, where as the soluble substance will dissolve in the liquid.

What substance takes up so much water from the air that it forms a liquid solution?
A substance that takes up so much water from the air that it forms a liquid solution is called a deliquescent. It is a substance that tends to absorb moisture from the air and dissolve in it.

What does it mean if a substance is a soluble?
Dissolves in water (Apex 2021)
How does water dissolve substance?
by the pelformane of the substance
Is a substance does not dissolve in water is it a ionic polar or nonpolor?
Like dissolve likes, therefore since water is polar and it does not dissolve, the substance is nonpolar.
