No, not at all
Yes, water is a solvent for all solids found in the natural world. Sometimes water is called the "universal solvent." Hot water tends to allow items to dissolve more quickly than cold water.
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Not all the solids will dissolve in water. Different solids have different solubilities (some will dissolve more than others). The higher temperature, the more will dissolve
No, not all solids dissolve. Solubility depends on the specific properties of the solid and the solvent it is being dissolved in. Some solids, like salt and sugar, readily dissolve in water, while others, like sand and silver, do not dissolve easily.
