The most common solvent is water; the next-most common is ammonia.
Often we add something to the solvent to help it dissolve things faster:
* Any strong acid, such as HCl (hydrochloric acid), makes the solvent corrosive.
* Any strong base, such as NaOH (sodium hydroxide), makes the solvent caustic.
* a surfactant also helps the solvent dissolve particles faster.

Why paints are colloids?
the solid particles in these colloids are mixed with the particles of a liquid. the dispersed particles do not dissolve into the liquid therefore the particles do not settle.
What is the name given to liquid which dissolve solid?
The liquid is called a solvent. It has the ability to dissolve solid particles, forming a solution.
ARE PARTICLES IN COLLOIDS SOLUBLE?
No, one common type of colloid is an emulsion and it is a mixture of a liquid in a liquid where one does not dissolve in the other. A substance that does not dissolve is insoluble.
What has a liquid mixture in which particles settle out?
A suspension is a liquid mixture in which particles settle out over time. The particles are usually larger in size and do not dissolve completely in the liquid. Examples include sand in water or chalk in water.
How does an insoluble substance form a suspension?
When an insoluble substance is mixed with a liquid, the particles of the substance do not dissolve but instead remain suspended throughout the liquid. The suspension is formed when the particles are small enough to disperse in the liquid but large enough that they do not dissolve. The particles may settle over time due to gravity, requiring the suspension to be shaken or stirred to redisperse them.
Can liquid dissolve medal?
Yes. The liguid has to be a strong acid and will "eat away" at the metal.
Example of heterogeneous solid in liquid?
Sand in water is an example of a heterogeneous solid in a liquid. The sand particles do not dissolve in water and can be seen as separate entities within the liquid.
When are suspensions mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures when fine particles of a solid are dispersed in a liquid but do not dissolve in it, leading to a mixture in which the solid particles are suspended and do not settle out easily.
Why do these materials completely dissolve in liquid?
Materials dissolve in liquid when their molecules break apart and disperse throughout the solvent. This process occurs due to interactions between the solvent molecules and the material's particles that weaken the bonds within the material, causing it to dissolve uniformly.
What does a solid and liquid make?
it depends on the solubility of the solid in that specific liquid. If the solid is highly soluble, then it should dissolve completely forming a solution, possibly coloured. If it is not, then it will just sit in the liquid.
When solid is dissolved in a liquid?
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.
What happens to particles when you make a glass of squash?
When you make a glass of squash, the particles of the squash mix with the water. The particles dissolve and disperse evenly throughout the liquid, giving it flavor and color.
