A solid dissolved into a liquid makes a solution, as opposed to a suspension which is when the solid remains visibly suspended in the liquid without rising to the top or sinking to the bottom.
The previous answer which I am replacing mistook the question as "What is made when a solid turns into a liquid, i.e.: melts, like ice to water". That would be a single substance in two states of matter, solid and liquid, not one solid substance dissolved into a different liquid substance, for example salt dissolving into water.
a simple example would be sugar
Hi, Well the actual liquid formed will be entirely dependant on the solid used, but generic terms would be a solution if the solid completey dissolves and the properties of the liquid are identical throughout (think of sugar dissolved in tea or coffee), however, if the solid is not fully dissolved but is mixed in with the liquid, this will be called a suspension (think of alka seltzer or similar, where it discolours the water but there are particles of the solid detectable). Thanks
mixtures are solutions.they are solutions because when the substace of a solid dissolves from a liquid it becomes a solution. Note: solutions are not mixtures.....mixtures are solutions
it is a gas
a solid dissolves into a liquid because of the free inter molecular spaces in between the molecules of the liquid or the solvent......... for example if we dissolve sugar in water and stirr the water , the sugar dissapears . this happens because the molecules of water are not yery closely placed and the sugarparticles go and fit inside the molecular spaces.......
The liquid that dissolves a solid is called the "Solvent".
A solution
What is left is a solution.
A solid that dissolves in a liquid forms a solution. In this process, the solid particles break down and disperse evenly throughout the liquid, creating a homogeneous mixture. Substances that exhibit this behavior are known as soluble in the specific liquid.
something
A solute is a solid that dissolves in the liquid. The liquid is called the solvent. Together, they make the solution.If the solute dissolves in the solvent, it means that the solid is soluble. If it doesn't, it is insoluble.
This is known as a solid-liquid solution where the solid solute dissolves in the liquid solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. An example is salt (solid) dissolving in water (liquid) to form a saltwater solution.
it doesnt go anywhere. The solid breaks up in really small pieces, and mixes with the liquid.

A solid that dissolves in a liquid solvent will form a liquid solution. For example, when table salt (solid) is mixed with water (liquid), it forms a saltwater solution.
The solid that dissolves in a liquid is the solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution, where the liquid is the solvent. If the solid does not dissolve in the liquid, it is considered insoluble.
