Water acts as a solvent in this case. When the solid is dissolved, it becomes a solution. The most common cases you will come across of a water soluble compound will likely be an ionic compound such as sodium hydroxide or potassium nitrate, or the likes of sucrose etc.
Many solids are soluble in water; other are not soluble.
Not all solids will dissolve in water at all. Those that do dissolve do so at different rates, and it's also temperature-dependent.
Ionic solids most likely dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent.
Not all solids will dissolve in water at all. Those that do dissolve do so at different rates, and it's also temperature-dependent.
Salt, sugar, and baking soda are examples of solids that dissolve in water. When these substances are mixed with water, they break down into molecules or ions and disperse throughout the water, forming a homogeneous solution.
Not all the solids will dissolve in water. Different solids have different solubilities (some will dissolve more than others). The higher temperature, the more will dissolve
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
insoluble
Water is the solvent.
1. Suspended solids 2. Colloidal solids (nonsettleable solids) - Do not dissolve in water
Solids that do not dissolve are called insoluble solids. These substances do not dissolve in water or other solvents due to their chemical properties. Examples include sand, chalk, and plastic.
