Graphite is not easily dissolved. Here is an article describing on process in the related link.
Graphite is practically insoluble.
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.
It is a solvent liquid. For example, water is a solvent as it can dissolve sugar crystals (and many other things).
A solvent is a chemical which has the capacity to dissolve a solute. Water is the most commonly used solvent, and it dissolves a lot of things, such as sugar and salt. To dissolve, is for a solid material to become part of a liquid solvent and to thereby lose its solidity, and to mix in.
The term universal solvent means that most things dissolve in it. So, since water is the universal solvent, most things do dissolve in water.
A solute is something that dissolves into a solvent. The solvent is the substance present in the greatest amount (there is always more of it) and the solute is always present in a smaller amount. Together they form a solution.
Graphite is practically insoluble.
Pencils are preferred over pens when marking TLC plates because pencil marks are less likely to smear due to the solvent used in TLC development. Additionally, pencil marks can be easily erased and corrected if needed without affecting the results of the analysis.
A solvent cannot dissolve. You can dissolve a solute in a solvent, e.g. you can dissolve sugar in water - sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent. You cannot dissolve water though.
No. Hexane is a nonpolar compound and will not dissolve ions.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent

Solvent
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
