Water dissolve salts by neutralizing the ionic bond holding them together. Dissolved salts form cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions). The process of water surrounding an ion is called hydration.

Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?

More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.


How fast does sugar dissolve in water and how fast salt dissolve in water?

The amount of time and speed it takes to dissolve sugar in water and dissolve salt in water depends on the amounts of salt and sugar, the amount of water, and the temperature of the water. The approximate time needed to dissolve the sugar and salt in water is 25 minutes.


What type is substances dissolve easily in water?

Water is called "the universal solvent" because many, many substances can dissolve in it. However, there are some that can dissolve easier than others: salt and sugar are some of the quickest. Liquids and liquid chemicals also "dissolve" very easily in water, i.e. the combine with water molecules to create a solution. Hope this helped!!


Why does not ink dissolve in salt water?

Ink is insoluble in salt water because it is not a polar substance that can easily be dissolved by the polar solvent (water). Instead, ink contains pigments and binders that do not mix well with water, making it difficult for the ink to dissolve and disperse in the salty solution.


Why sugar dissolve faster than the salt?

Sugar molecules are smaller and have a more linear shape compared to salt molecules, which allows them to easily break apart and dissolve in water. The chemical structure of sugar also forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, aiding in its dissolution. Salt, on the other hand, has a more complex ionic structure that takes longer to break down and dissolve in water.
