The process is called dissolving, the result is called a solution.
The same terminology is also used if a gas or a liquid dissolves into a liquid.
The important thing here is that two or more different materials are combining in a non-chemical way and that no physical state change is happening to those materials.
When a powder is dissolved in water, the resulting mixture is called a solution. If the powder is a solid solute, the water acts as the solvent. The solute is evenly distributed within the solvent, creating a homogeneous mixture. Examples include sugar or salt dissolved in water.
Yes, a solid and a liquid can form a mixture through a process called dissolution, where the solid is dissolved in the liquid. Examples include sugar dissolving in water to form a sugar solution and salt dissolving in water to form a saline solution.
heterogeneous mixture because it is dissolved by water
A liquid with dissolved solids is a liquid; a liquid with solids suspended in it is a "non-Newtonian fluid." Mix up a 1:1 of water and cornstarch and you'll see what I mean.
Dissolved sugar is a homogeneous mixture. While sugar is a pure substance in its solid form, when dissolved in water it forms a mixture where the sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
This solid is called a solute.
The solid part of a solution is called a solute.
Potassium dichromate is a pure substance in solid form. When dissolved in water, it forms a solution, which is a homogeneous mixture of potassium dichromate and water molecules.
Salt dissolved in water is a solution, not a mixture. The result is called a saline solution.
Yes, a solid and a liquid can form a mixture through a process called dissolution, where the solid is dissolved in the liquid. Examples include sugar dissolving in water to form a sugar solution and salt dissolving in water to form a saline solution.

Dissolved sugar is a homogeneous mixture. While sugar is a pure substance in its solid form, when dissolved in water it forms a mixture where the sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
This is called: a solution
This phenomenon is called dissolution.
It is called a solution.
When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the individual particles of the solid separate and disperse throughout the liquid. These dissolved particles become evenly distributed in the solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture.
