A substance is soluble with another substance if it can be dissolved into it.

solubility is defined with respect to another substance (usually water)

eg) salt is soluble in water. oil is insoluble in water.

What is similar about soluble and insoluble?

Soluble and insoluble substances are both types of materials that can be dissolved in a solvent. The key difference is that soluble substances dissolve to form a clear solution, while insoluble substances do not dissolve and may separate out as a precipitate.


What is the difference between a soluble and insoluble?

Soluble describes something that can be dissolved in water. Insoluble describes something that can not be dissolved in water. Salt is soluble, it will dissolve in water. Oil is insoluble, oil will float on the surface of water.


How do you separate soluble and insoluble substances from the same mixture?

One common method is to use filtration to separate insoluble substances from soluble substances. The mixture is passed through a filter that catches the insoluble substances, while allowing the soluble substances to pass through. Another method could be to use techniques such as centrifugation or precipitation to separate the insoluble substances from the soluble ones in the mixture.


Is soil soluble or insoluble?

Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of both soluble and insoluble components. Soluble components in soil can dissolve in water, while insoluble components do not dissolve. The solubility of different substances in soil depends on their chemical composition and properties.


What is difference between a substance that is solube in water and one that is insolube in water?

There is no such thing as a soluble precipitate A precipitate a solid that is formed in a chemical reaction, therefor only a insoluble precipitate can occur, and the soluble would remain as a soluble solution. The difference between a soluble and insoluble precipitate is that a insoluble precipitate is incapable of dissolving in a liquid, and a solid is formed in the reaction, where as the soluble substance will dissolve in the liquid.

Yes


Why are some substances soluble and some insoluble?

some substances are soluble and some arn't because it all depends on the particles. If the particles of a substance are attracted to it's own particles and not the waters then it is insoluble, but if the substance is more attracted to the water's particles then it's own's, it is soluble.

Substances which can be dissolved in a solvent are said to be soluble in that solvent.For ExampleSugarSaltbaking powderwashing sodathese are in soluble in water.


Are liquids soluble or insoluble in water?

Many liquids dissolve in water, and many do not. In chemistry , there is a rule "like dissolves like", so if the nature of the liquid is similar to water i.e. highly polar, it will be soluble. This rule is not infallible. Butanol is very polar, but is only about 2% soluble in water.
