What does soluble and insoluble mean?

Answer 1

Materials like salt and sugar will dissolve in the water and are called soluble as they dissolve completely in the water, where as substances that do not dissolve in water like sand are called insoluble materials.

Answer 2

Insoluble means unable to be dissolved (as in liquids, usually water).

for example iron filings are insoluble - they cannot be dissolved in water

It means it won't dissolve in a particular solvent. NOTHING is completely insoluble and there is a solvent for almost any substance.

Example :

Styrofoam cups are insoluble in coffee, but they are soluble in gasoline.

Most plastics and metals are insoluble in water.

Answer 3

Soluble refers to a substance that can be dissolved in a particular solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture. Insoluble refers to a substance that does not dissolve in a particular solvent and remains as particles within the solvent.

Answer 4

soluble means that the substance will dissolve in a liquid insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve in a liquid

Answer 5

soluble is if it can mix with the aqueous completely

insoluble is when it reacts and forms a solid (which wasn't a solid before)

Answer 6

Soluble means that a substance is able to be dissolved, and insoluble means that a substance isn't able to be dissolved.

Answer 7

Insoluble means it can't be dissolved in a liquid, and soluble means it can be dissolved in a liquid. For example, salt is soluble in water.

Answer 8

soluble means something that can dissolve and insoluble means a substance can dissolve.

Answer 9

it cannot be solved because it is soluble
