When we mix substances together they are either miscible or immiscible. However, "soluble" refers to dissolving of a solid substance which we call solute into a large amount of solvent which is another substance. Solute is what you call a substance when it can dissolve into a solvent.


Miscible generally refers to two liquids. Soluble generally refers to a property of a solid in a liquid. Miscible is said when two liquids can be mixed with each other. Water and oil are not miscible but water and ethanol are miscible.

Both systems entail a change in entropy and as such will cause the exchange of energy with the surroundings.

Will cooling a solution of salt crystals and water slow down the dissolving rate?

Yes; the solubility of solids in liquids decrease when the temperature decrease.


What will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

Temperature and particle size of the solid will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility in a liquid. Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of dissolving and solubility, while smaller particles increase the rate of dissolving due to increased surface area available for interaction with the solvent.


What are the 7 S words in science to do with dissolving?

Solute which is the solid being dissolved Solvent which is the liquid the solid is dissolving into Solution which is the solute and the solvent mixed together Soluble which means that something will dissolve Insoluble which means that something will not dissolve Solubility which is how much something will dissolve and Saturated which is when a solution has dissolved that maximum amount of solute


A solution may be prepared by dissolving crystals of a salt in water What would probably not affect the rate of solubility?

The rate of solubility of a salt in water is typically not affected by factors such as the size of the crystals, as the dissolution process is governed by the interaction of solvent molecules with the salt particles on the surface. The temperature of the solution, stirring/agitation, and surface area of the crystals are more likely to impact the rate of solubility.

What is the relation between solubilitysolubility product and conductance?

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent, while solubility product is the equilibrium constant for a solid dissolving in a solvent. Conductance is a measure of how well a solution conducts electricity, influenced by the presence of ions in solution which are produced by the dissociation of solutes. Generally, higher solubility can lead to higher conductance due to the presence of more ions in solution.

What is the difference between solubility and dissolution, and how do they affect the process of a substance dissolving in a solvent?

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure, while dissolution is the process of a substance mixing uniformly with a solvent to form a solution. Solubility determines how much of a substance can dissolve in a solvent, while dissolution describes the actual process of the substance dissolving. The higher the solubility of a substance, the more easily it will dissolve in a solvent.
