No, not all substances dissolve in water to form a solution.
Cooking oil is a good example, if you mix with water it will remain separated and float to the top - it is less dense. Water would have to break almost all its intermolecular hydrogen bonds in order to accomodate it (which of course it doesn't), and therefore it does not form a solution.
Solubility depends on what you are adding to the water. If you are adding an alcohol for example, it has O-H bonds which will readily form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, and so dissolves. Water is also a polar solvent, so ionic substances will also tend to dissolve in it.
Hope that helps!

Which solids dissolve in water to form a colorless solution?
Sugar is one.
Can Cl2 and H2O form a homogeneous solution?
Yes. Gasses can dissolve in water.
What do you call a solution in which no more solute can dissolve?
A solute can be dissolved in water to form a solution until the carrying capacity of the solution is reached. At this point the solution is saturated and will not dissolve or carry any more solute. fully saturated. You should also consider that heating it up make it a diluted solution, so as lowering the heat instantly can make your solution a supersaturated solution.
How to prepare 30 percent stock BSA from power form?
Well to make 30% stock solution of BSA from powder form you need to dissolve 30g of BSA into 100ml of solvent (water). Thus dissolved solution becomes 30% (w/v) stock solution.
What do you call the substance that easily dissolve in a solvent?
A solute is something that dissolves into a solvent. The solvent is the substance present in the greatest amount (there is always more of it) and the solute is always present in a smaller amount. Together they form a solution.
What substances that dissolve in a solution?
The substances in a solution are the solute and the solvent. When the two are mixed, they form a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
What is a mixture that results when substances dissolve to form a homogeneus mixture?
Such a mixture is called a "solution".
When substances dissolve and form a homogeneous mixture the mixture that forms is called?
This is a homogeneous solution.
How do you form sand and water solution?
Sand grains will not dissolve in water. Therefore, sand and water can not form a solution. Salt and water can make a (saline) solution, because the salt crystals will dissolve completely into the water.
What two minerals dissolve in hot water form solutions?
The two minerals dissolve in hot water to form solutions are sugar and salt. They will form a homogeneous solution as they completely dissolve in water.
What two minerals dissolve in hot water to form solutions?
The two minerals dissolve in hot water to form solutions are sugar and salt. They will form a homogeneous solution as they completely dissolve in water.
What formula dissolves in water to form an ionic solution?
most ionic compounds will dissolve in water to form ions in solution.
What is substance that dissolve in water?
substances that dissolve in water include, sugar, salt and others.
When elements that form a mineral dissolve in hot water they form a mixture called a .?
The mixture when elements that form a mineral dissolve in hot water is called a solution.
When elements that form a mineral dissolve in hot water they form a mixture call a?
The mixture when elements that form a mineral dissolve in hot water is called a solution.
What rules determines if a substance will form a solution?
the rule of thumb is "Like dissolves like". What this means is that polar substances dissolve polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances. For instance, common tablesalt (NaCl) has an ionic bond that will dissociate in polar liquid like water (H2O), but not in a nonpolar liquid like oil.
What happens if solids are soluble in water?
They will dissolve in the water and form a solution. The amount that will dissolve depends on the solubility of the solid and the temperature.
