actually the substance in which a thing dissolves is called a solvent, and the things which dissolves in the solvent is called a solute.
and water is called a universal solvent cuz it can dissolve a very wide range of solutes with a slight differende in their solubilities( that is the capacity to dissolve).
fr eg in the case of sugar solution water is a solvent.

Why did the powdered milk molecules dissolve faster in water than oil?
Because water is a polar compound and a universal solvent and it can easily dissolve many things in it while oil is a non-polar compound and it cannot dissolve things in it much fastly.
Do acids ionize or dissolve in water Can you explain please?
Acids ionize can dissolve in water it will lower the pH levels. This is does in many things to keep pH levels lower.
What is the solute and solvent of seawater?
The solvent of sea water is obviously water and the solute is salt...
What won't dissolve?
Substances that cannot dissolve in water are typically: * Non-polar (oil) Even rocks or pieces of metal will elute (dissolve) a little bit if left in water, in the right conditions. Strong & Stable crystals (like diamond) are unlikely to dissolve.
Is water a good solute?
Yes, because many things(salt, sugar...) can dissolve into water.
Name given to the liquids which dissolve?

Is flour a solute?
I'm going to assume that the solvent is water. Flour is not a solute in water, as it is made of many different types of molecules, most of which do not dissolve in water.
How many things dissolve in water and what are they called?
Water can dissolve many things. Hence it is called a universal solvent.
Can water dissolved all kinds of solute?
Water can dissolve many solutes, although not all, so be careful.
What is the variables of what dissolves in water?
There are many factors that affect how much of solute will dissolve in water. Variables such as temperature, size of solute particle etc play an important role when dissolving solute in water. Water is also known as universal solvent.
What is the name for a substance that does not dissolve?
there are many answers, but this depends on the solvent in which you want the solute to dissolve. If for example you're using water as a solvent, wax doesn't dissolve and neither does wood. If you're using methanol (ethanol) then sugar and salt don't dissolve. Freshly pressed orange juice doesn't dissolve in water or any other freshly pressed juice.
Why only a certain amount of solute will dissolve in water?
When solute dissolves in solvent it is being surrounded by the solvent's molecules. Because there are a finite number of molecules in a given amount of solvent, there is a limit to how much solute can fit in.
What is water called because some solids dissolve in it?
Water is called a solvent, because of the many things that dissolve in it.
What is the difference between the solvent and the solute that make up a solution?
The solute is what is being dissolved. The solvent is what the solute is dissolved in. Take coffee for example. The solute would be the coffee, and the water would be the solvent. In fact, water is able to dissolve so many substances that it's called the universal solvent.
