What substance that can dissvole another substances is called?
A substance that can dissolve another substance is called a solvent. Solvents are typically liquids like water or alcohol that have the ability to dissolve other materials to form a solution.
What do you mean when you say a substance is insoluble in other substances?

What do you call to the amount of salt and other dissolve substance?

What is the ability to dissolve other chemicals?
Solubility is defined as the ability of one substance to dissolve into another substance. Polarity is the main property that governs solubility. Polar molecules will dissolve in polar solvents and non polar molecules will dissolve in non polar colvents. Just remember like dissolves like. Water is polar and it is known as the univeral solvent.
What is meant by solubility of a solute?
Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve completely in another substance. The substance that dissolves is called the solute. If the solute has a high solubility, then it easily dissolves in most substances to create a solution. If the solute has a low solubility, then it does not dissolve easily and rarely goes into solution with other substances.
The quality of a substance that allows it to dissolve?
The quality of a substance that allows it to dissolve is called solubility. Solubility is determined by the ability of the solvent to interact with the solute molecules and overcome the attractive forces between them. Substances with similar polarities are more likely to dissolve in each other, while substances with different polarities may not dissolve well.
What type of substance will dissolve in a nonpolar substance?
A non-polar substance will dissolve in a non-polar substance. Like dissolves like.
What does solvant mean in chemical terms?
