SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE SUBSTANCES
Soluble substances dissolve in a solvent (like water), forming a solution, while insoluble substances do not dissolve. Common examples of soluble substances include sugar and salt, while sand and flour are examples of insoluble substances.
Soluble Substances:
A substance is considered soluble if it can dissolve in a solvent, like water.
When a soluble substance dissolves, it forms a homogeneous solution, meaning the substance is evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
Examples of soluble substances in water include:
Sugar
Salt
Baking powder
Vinegar
Milk
Honey
Alcohol
Insoluble Substances:
Insoluble substances do not dissolve in a solvent, even when mixed.
Examples of insoluble substances in water include:
Sand
Flour
Stones
Wood
Plastic
Oil (although it may form a suspension, not a solution)
Aluminum foil
