How do you make solutions dissolve?
You can make a solute dissolve faster by mixing the solute, heating the solute, or crushing the solute.
What Solvent substance dissolves in saltwater?
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.
Why do some substances not dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.
What solute is least to dissolve in water?
oil
Will speed up the dissolving of a soilid solute in water?
Hoping your question is "What will speed up the dissolving of a solid solute in water?"The surface area of the solute. Finely ground powder has a higher surface area than larger pieces of solute and will dissolve faster.The temperature of the water. Generally, as temperature increases so does the speed of solution.The type of solute. Some solutes have a higher solubility than others and will generally dissolve faster.How pure the water is. Generally, solutes dissolve faster in pure water, as the water takes in more solute it takes longer to dissolve further solute.The volume of solvent compared to the mass of solute. Larger volumes of water will dissolve a small mass of solute relatively quickly.
When making a solution you dissolve a solute in a?
Solvent (such as water).
Did the sugar dissolve in water?
No, sugar is the solute. The water is the solvent.Sugar is the solute, (the thing being dissolved) and the water is the solvent, (the thing that the solute is being dissolved in)
What solid do dissolve in water?
This solid is called a solute.
When sugar is dissolved in water is it solute or solvent?
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.
A solid that does dissolve in water is called?
This solid is called a solute.
What do you call the substance that easily dissolve in a solvent?
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.
Which is the solvent in a solution?
The solvent is the substance which dissolve the solute; for a sugar solution water is the solvent and sugar the solute.
