Typically, it goes like this:
Solute + Solvent = Solution
But a liquid can also dissolve in liquid; gas in liquid; gas in solid and finally solid in solid.
Solid solutions are common in metal compounds. Two compounds/element with suitable crystal lattice structures maybe melted and mixed in proper composition. The additional atoms/compounds take up space in the existing crystal lattice or distort it in a certain way to form a new material. The properties of this new material may be totally different from the individual components (example A) or be an enhancement of the properties of the old components (example B).
example A: Alloys
example B: Iron and Carbon will make Steel; Lead Zirconate Titanate and additive atoms for advanced Piezoelectric materials
ice at its solid state when dissolved in water turns to its liquid state
A solvent is a chemical which has the capacity to dissolve a solute. Water is the most commonly used solvent, and it dissolves a lot of things, such as sugar and salt. To dissolve, is for a solid material to become part of a liquid solvent and to thereby lose its solidity, and to mix in.
Heat up the solvent. Solubility of most solid solutes increases with temperatue.
Saturated. But you can change the conditions and supersaturate many solutions.
Make a solid dissolve more quickly by increasing: 1. the temperature of the liquid. 2. the surface area of the solid (e.g. cut it in half). 3. increase the pressure of the liquid on the solid.
Gas or solid
If the solid is soluble (can dissolve) then it will dissolve in the liquid and give you a solution.
Solid doesn't spread.
In the water
Salt is a solid; water can dissolve candies.
This solid is called a solute.
The liquid is called a solvent. It has the ability to dissolve solid particles, forming a solution.
Diamond does not dissolove
If you try to dissolve a lot of solid in a small amount of liquid, you may reach a point where the liquid becomes saturated and can no longer dissolve any more of the solid. The excess solid will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container.
a solid that can dissolved is called a soluble
When a solid does not dissolve into a liquid, it is referred to as insoluble. This means that the solid remains in its original form and does not mix evenly with the liquid.
Solid iodine dissolves in organic solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or diethyl ether. It does not dissolve readily in water.
