Solution = a solute (something to dissolve) and solvent (the one who makes the other dissolve) Water and Ice: Same thing. It wouldn't help to melt the ice. It's just more H2O. Water and Oil: This wouldn't work. The oil would literally "sit" on top of the water. Water and Sand: Sand is is SiO2 which is nonpolar and also wouldn't dissolve in water. (Which is good! If it DID dissolve in water, we wouldn't have beaches!) Water and Salt: YES! Salt is a polar molecule, as is water, so the water would dissolve salt and create a solution.
