               Soluble and Insoluble Substances
               Substances that dissolve in a liquid are known as soluble substances.

               Example: salt, sugar, copper sulphate


               Substances that do not dissolve in a liquid are known as insoluble substances.

               Example: sand, gravel, chalk.

















               Solvent: A solvent is a substance, generally a liquid, in which another materials
               dissolve. For example, water.

               Solute: A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. For
               example, sugar.

               Solution: A mixture of the solute and solvent forms the solution. For example, sugar
               dissolves in water to form sugar solution.

               Solubility: The ability of a substance to dissolve in water to form a solution is called the
               solubility of that substance in water.


               The solubility of solids in liquids generally increase with increase in temperature and
               with stirring.
