If an unknown solid substance is non polar will it matter if distilled or tap water is used to prepare a solution of this substance?

If the solid substance is nonpolar, it will more likely dissolve better in an organic solvent rather than water. In this case, using distilled or tap water to prepare a solution may not make a significant difference in the solubility of the substance since it is nonpolar and not likely to dissolve well in water regardless.

What does solubility mean and what is a solution?

Solubility is how much of a substance will dissolve in a given solvent. The rule for solubility is "like dissolves like". So polar substances, like ionic compounds, will dissolve in polar solvents, like water. Non-polar substances, like organics, will dissolve in more non-polar organic solvents, like acetone, ethanol, benzene, etc.
