all i know is that solutes lower its freezing point but i kinda think they dissolve into a liquid.
what is mixtures
Surprisingly Water is used as a solvent and is commonly considered the "Universal Solvent". This is due to it being the liquid that can dissolve the most substances out of any other liquid.
I believe water is considered a 'universal solvent' due to the fact that many substances will dissolve into it
it makes the substence colder
Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.

it depends on the substance

the rule of thumb is "Like dissolves like". What this means is that polar substances dissolve polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances. For instance, common tablesalt (NaCl) has an ionic bond that will dissociate in polar liquid like water (H2O), but not in a nonpolar liquid like oil.
The substance is said to be soluble or dispersible.
Filtering is a process that removes particles in suspension in a liquid. So, anything that does not dissolve in a liquid can be filtered out. Dissolved substances and pure substances, however, cannot be removed by filtering.
Alcohol can dissolve in water. It can dissolve in any proportion. Once mixed, these two substances can hardly be isolated from each other unless subjected to distillation process.
Liquid propane can dissolve many non-polar compounds such as lipids, hydrocarbonds, halogenated hydrocarbons (with exception to fluorocarbons), etc. Substances such as water are too polar and are more attracted to itself than non-polar substances and thus do not dissolve.
Substances that do not dissolve are insolubles, because they are not soluble they do not dissolve.
