YES!!! WAter is a very powerful solvent for anything that is ionically bonded.
Sodium chloride is an ionically bonded salt, so will readily dissovle in water,
Try it a home .
A glass of water and a little table salt (sodium chloride) ,put it in the wster and stir. Also washing soda, sodium bi-carbonate and sodium stearate ( soap). They all dissolve in water.
Also acetone,(propanone; nail polish remover) and alcohol ( Ethanol ; ethyl alcohol; the stuff that adults drink) are all soluble in water.

What is a solvent solution?
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
Water is the solvent in a what solution?
