How can you dissolve more solid into liquid?

Once you have reached a point where you cannot dissolve any more solute in solvent, you have reached a saturation point of the liquid. Now if you increase the temperature of the solution you will be able to dissolve some more solute. Another way to do this is to greatly increase the volume of solvent.


Is a milkshake a solid or liquid?

A milkshake would qualify as a solid. A fish swims in a liquid (water). If a fish was stuck in a milkshake it wouldn't be able to swim because it's a solid. Therefore a milkshake qualifies as a solid.


What changes will decrease the total amount of gaseous solute able to be dissolved in a liter of liquid water?

Decreasing the temperature and increasing the pressure will decrease the total amount of gaseous solute able to be dissolved in a liter of liquid water. Conversely, increasing the temperature and decreasing the pressure will increase the amount of gaseous solute that can be dissolved.


When a liquid can no longer accommodate more ions?

When a liquid cannot dissolve any further amounts of a compound it is said to be saturated. For example if you add sodium chloride to water evetually you will not be able to dissolve any more salt in the water and it will remain as a solid in the bottom of the bottle. It is the presence of this solid that lets you know that no more can be dissolved and thatt you have a saturated salt solution.

Why is a substance able to be dissolved in another to form a solution?

A substance is able to be dissolved in another to form a solution because the solute particles are broken down and dispersed evenly throughout the solvent due to intermolecular forces. This allows the solute to mix with the solvent at a molecular level, resulting in a homogenous mixture.
