The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.

What happens when solids are added to water?

When solids are added to water, they can dissolve, creating a solution. Alternatively, the solids may remain suspended in the water as a suspension if they are insoluble. In some cases, chemical reactions may occur between the solids and water, leading to the formation of new substances.


Are All Solids Disolve In Water?

Not all solids dissolve in water. Solubility depends on the chemical structure of the solid and its interaction with water molecules. Solids like sugar and salt are considered soluble in water, while substances like sand and oil are insoluble.

If a water solution has some solids which are not dissolved what simple experiment would you conduct to tell in the percent of solids in the water by weight?

Simplest experiment is to take this water solution having undissolved solids in a hundred ml graduated cylinder upto its mark(100ml). Allow to stand for about half an hour, then note the level of undissolved solids at the bottom of the cylinder. Read that level as percent of solids in the water by weight. To determine percentage of solids by weight: Find the weight of water+undissolved solids Filter water solution through a filter paper. Find the weight of filtered water. Find the weight of dried solids. Percentage of undissolved solids = wt of undissolved solids divided by total weight of water and solids multiplied by 100
