Solvent
A substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent is described as soluble in that solvent. Solubility depends on the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent molecules. When these forces are strong enough to overcome the attractions within the solute or solvent, the substance will dissolve in the solvent.
The three types of solubility are: soluble (able to dissolve in a solvent), insoluble (unable to dissolve in a solvent), and partially soluble (able to dissolve only to a limited extent in a solvent).
A solvent.
The types of solubility include soluble (able to dissolve in a solvent), insoluble (unable to dissolve in a solvent), and partially soluble (able to dissolve only to a limited extent in a solvent).
We call a liquid in which substances dissolve a solvent.
Water is the solvent substance that dissolves in saltwater. Saltwater is a solution of water and salt (solute), where the water acts as the solvent to dissolve the salt.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.
Solvent
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
A substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent is described as soluble in that solvent. Solubility depends on the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent molecules. When these forces are strong enough to overcome the attractions within the solute or solvent, the substance will dissolve in the solvent.
The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
The three types of solubility are: soluble (able to dissolve in a solvent), insoluble (unable to dissolve in a solvent), and partially soluble (able to dissolve only to a limited extent in a solvent).
It is a solvent liquid. For example, water is a solvent as it can dissolve sugar crystals (and many other things).
