When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart.

After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute.

The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.

What is made when a solid dissolves into liquid?

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.


Name given to the clear liquid formed when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

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

What word is used for a solid dissolved in liquid?

The word used for a solid dissolved in a liquid is "solute." In a solution, the solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the liquid in which it is dissolved is called the solvent. When a solute dissolves in a solvent, it forms a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.


Is mass conserved when a solid is dissolved in a liquid?

Yes, mass is conserved when a solid is dissolved in a liquid. The total mass of the solid and the liquid remains the same before and after dissolution. The solid particles disperse in the liquid, maintaining the overall mass of the system.
