Most ionic substances dissolve in water. You would need to consult a solubility table because there are exceptions and partial solubilities to deal with, but in general they will dissolve. This is because water is a polar substance, meaning the water molecule has a positive end and negative end (due to unshared electrons). Ionic substances are polar as well, since they're composed of positive and negative ions. In chemistry, the old adage "like dissolves like" applies here.

What happens when you mix water and sugar?
The sugar will dissolve in the water, changing the sugar from solid to liquid.
What happens when you mix washing soda crystals with distilled water?
You'll get a solution of sodium carbonate in water. People who work in photo labs do this all the time.
What happens when salt and water combine do they mix or bond?
Dissolving salt in water creates a saline solution (salty water).
What happens when you mix methamphetamine into a water?
If you have methamphetamine hydrochloride, it will give you a solution of meth in water. Why you'd want this I have no idea.
