Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.
What else can I help you with?
Can saw dust dissolves in water?
Sawdust does not dissolve in water because it is insoluble. Instead, sawdust will float on the surface or sink to the bottom of the water, as it does not chemically bond with the water molecules.
Will sawdust sink or float?
It depends on the species of wood. Most float but some types of ebony and lignum vitae have a density greater than water and will sink.
When chalk dust dissolve in water it is called?
When chalk (the mineral) dissolves in water, it's called "limewater".
How would you separate gold dust from a mixture of iron filings and salt?
Mix with water, the pass through a filter paper. The salt will be dissolved in the water so it will be removed with the water, leaving the iron filings and gold dust on the filter paper. Leave this to dry then separate off the iron filings using a magnet, leaving behind the gold.
How could separate the mixture of salt water and saw dust?
Add the mixture of sawdust, sand and salt to water. The sawdust will float and can be skimmed form the surface. The salt will dissolve in the water. The sand can be filtered from the mixture which remains. The salt water solution which remains can be heated and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.

Is it possible for saw dust float?
Wood can float on water.
Will sawdust sink or float?

What physical property would be the most useful in the separation of fine saw dust and salt?
Magnetism would be the most useful physical property for separating fine saw dust and salt. However, since neither is magnetic, a process of dissolving the salt in water, filtering out the saw dust, and boiling away the water is necessary.
Why do hamsters have saw dust in their cages?
saw dust is something that lots of people use as bedding. I use saw dust for my hamsters bedding!
When chalk dust dissolve in water it is called?
When chalk (the mineral) dissolves in water, it's called "limewater".
What physical property would useful in the separation of very fine saw dust and salt?
You can either put it in water and the salt will dissolve and the sawdust will float, then you can filter it, or you can take a balloon and rub it on your shirt or hair and hold it above and the sawdust will stick to the balloon.
How would you separate baking soda from sand and sawdust?
I would pour all three in a beaker of water. The baking soda will dissolve into the water, the sawdust will float, and the sand will sink. I'd then strain out the sand and saw dust. I'd then boil the water until it all evaporates leaving nothing but baking soda.
How would you separate gold dust from a mixture of iron filings and salt?
Mix with water, the pass through a filter paper. The salt will be dissolved in the water so it will be removed with the water, leaving the iron filings and gold dust on the filter paper. Leave this to dry then separate off the iron filings using a magnet, leaving behind the gold.
Which is the better thermal insulator saw dust or styrofoam?
saw dust is the better termal insulator
What is a brick saw?
A brick saw is usually an electric or gas saw similar to a radial arm saw and will most often cut the brick with a diamond blade with water running on the blade to reduce dust.
