Water is a polar substance which means that it can provide an energy release (both enthalpic and entropic) by dissolving other polar substances. Reactions always proceed to the result of minimum energy.

The polarity of water splits them, the negative part of salt (Cl) is stabilized by the positive part of water (H). Whereas the negative part of water (O) stabilizes the positive part of salt (Na). The water pretty much surrounds the separated parts of the salt (called ions) and keeps them apart.

The object being dissolve attaches on to these water molecules, they are surrounded by them so they are completely separate from other molecules of that matter.

it can't dissolve metal and water can't dissolve oil nor mix with it, how old are you!
So water can't dissolve everything.

How many things dissolve in water and what are they called?
Water can dissolve many things. Hence it is called a universal solvent.
What ingredient causes panadol rapid to dissolve in water?
Because it contains chemicals that make it dissolve :)
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 things dissolve in daily life?
Many things dissolve in daily life. For example, both salt and sugar will dissolve in water in daily life. Most powdered drinks and vitamins will also dissolve.
What cannot be dissolved by water?
Things that won't dissolve in water are said to be insoluble in water. Lots of thing are not soluble in water, just as there are a lot of things that are. Carbon won't dissolve in water, to cite a single example. There are a range of solubilities, as you'd expect. A number of substances and compounds are mostly insoluble in water. Calcium carbonate is resistant to solution in water, to name one. Only the smallest amount of it will dissolve in water.
Why does things dissolve in water?
the things dissolve in water because it is polar molecule.
Does hot water makes things dissolve more slowly?
most things dissolve faster in hot water.
How many things dissolve in water and what are they called?
Water can dissolve many things. Hence it is called a universal solvent.
What causes objects to dissolve?
boiling hot water
What liquid can dissolve things?
Water can.
Do all things dissolve in water?
no
Why do things dissolves in water?
They dissolve by sinking in to the water.
What ingredient causes panadol rapid to dissolve in water?
Because it contains chemicals that make it dissolve :)
Things that dissolve in water?
salt sugar
What other things dissolve in water?
Some things that dissolve in water are sugar, soda, food coloring, chocolate syrup, and food particles. Other things that dissolve is salt, vinegar, coffee powder, and copper sulfate.
How does water gets in the air?
Surface water and moist soil are heated by the sun. This causes the water to evaporate and causes the air to become more humid. In just the same way that solid sugar will dissolve in water, liquid water will dissolve in air.
What is water called because some solids dissolve in it?
Water is called a solvent, because of the many things that dissolve in it.
