Does water dissolve the most solids?

Water has been called the "universal Solvent" for just this reason.

How much of a specific material it might dissolve is another question, but generally speaking it will dissolve anything, but perhaps in very small amounts.

Why would ionic solids most likely dissolve in water?

Ionic solids most likely dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent.


Will all solids dissolved in water?

No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.

Solids that dissolve in water?

Salt, sugar, and baking soda are examples of solids that dissolve in water. When these substances are mixed with water, they break down into molecules or ions and disperse throughout the water, forming a homogeneous solution.

Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in?

Ionic solids will most likely dissolve in polar solvents such as water, which can break apart the ionic bonds holding the solid together. The polar solvent molecules surround the individual ions and help to disperse them evenly throughout the solution.
