Acids like vinegar or citric acid are commonly used to dissolve rust, as they can break down the iron oxide. Commercial rust removers containing phosphoric acid can also be effective. Always follow safety guidelines when using these chemicals.
No, not every solvent can dissolve every solute. The ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute depends on the chemical properties of both the solvent and the solute.
Solvent
One chemical that can be used to dissolve rust is phosphoric acid.
A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
The three types of solubility are: soluble (able to dissolve in a solvent), insoluble (unable to dissolve in a solvent), and partially soluble (able to dissolve only to a limited extent in a solvent).
No, not every solvent can dissolve every solute. The ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute depends on the chemical properties of both the solvent and the solute.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
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.
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.

Acetone is the best solvent to dissolve wood glue.
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.

The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
