something that is non-soluble in whatever solvent youre using
the solvent is what is doing the dissolving, while the solute is the thing being dissolved
for example: a mixture of water and salt. water is the solvent and salt is the solute.
but to answer your question in more depth, the solubility of something is determined by its polarity compared to the polarity of the solvent
water is polar, so polar molecules dissolve readily in water
if the substance is known to be nonpolar, then it wont dissolve in water
(im just assuming your solvent is water. if you want a more specific example, you should check the polarity of your solvent and solute.)
The word you are looking for is "dissolved." When a substance is dissolved, it has mixed into a liquid and become a uniform solution.
Water can be mixed with a great number of liquids.
solute when mixed with solvent spread evenly
When sugar is dissolved in water, it appears as a clear, transparent solution with no visible sugar particles.
Salt dissolved in water is an example of a homogeneous mixture.
No. If the sugar is completely dissolved and then mixed thoroughly, it would be homogeneous.
because the salt molecules have mixed up with the water molecules
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
Calcium chloride is a type of salt. When dissolved and mixed with soap, it will form a white film commonly known as soap scum.
No. The SUBSTANCE is still water, only now sugar is dissolved in it.
If a substance can be dissolved in water, it is said to be hydrophilic or water-soluble. This means that the substance has an affinity for water and can form a homogeneous solution when mixed with it.
The compound formed when magnesium chloride is dissolved in water is magnesium chloride itself, represented by the formula MgCl2.
