No
Quantitative research is generally more related to physics and "measuring" results which can often be expressed as numbers, and are reproducible using the scientific method: "45% of the people tested prefer product A, 37% prefer product C" "light travels at 2.997m/s" Qualitative research is more related to things that cannot be easily measured or proven, such as why people do certain things.

Quantitative Research, and Qualitative Research. Those are the two!
I believe Qualitative and Quantitative observations?
Quantitative research are methodologies and reporting of numerical values, statistics and relationships to describe and model phenomena. Quantitative and qualitative procedures serve as the aid and foundation to understanding and executing the scientific method.
According to scientists, the different types of scientific observations include natural and staged observations as well as quantitative and qualitative observations.

because quantitative researchers have a positive paradigmatic stance, which opposes qualitative researchers stance who are interpretivist. Moreover, some positivists believe qualitative research lacks scientific rigour.
The observation that a solid is dissolving in water is qualitative in nature. If you wanted to make this a quantitative observation you would have to measure the quantities involved. For example, I placed 5 grams of NaCl in a beaker of 100 ml of water at a temperature of 20o Celcius, and did not stir, and it dissolved in 30 seconds. You may or may not need that information. If all you want to know is whether salt is soluble in water, the qualitative observation may suit your purposes. But in general, quantitative observations are more informative and lead to greater scientific insights.

Qualitative (things you can describe, like categories: gender or sport, variables like sm, m, and lg, or attitudes: agree/disagree, etc) and quantitative: things you can measure and report in numbers (like mass or volume)
The scientific definition of the word quantitative is to be able to describe or describe something as a quantity, the result of measuring something and relating to a number or quantity.
