Solubility
We say a substance dissolves if it spreads apart when added to a solvent (like water) so we can’t crystals/grains anymoreDissolving is a complex physical and chemical process!The substance is still there! We just can’t see it because it has spread apart.Question: How is dissolving different from melting?
SolubilitySolubility
A substance is A substance is solublesoluble if it dissolves in if it dissolves in water.water.
Example: We observed in class that table Example: We observed in class that table salt (sodium chloride) is salt (sodium chloride) is solublesoluble in water. in water. After adding it to water, it spreads apart so After adding it to water, it spreads apart so we can no longer see it!we can no longer see it!
InsolubleInsoluble
A substance is A substance is insolubleinsoluble if it will NOT if it will NOT dissolve in water.dissolve in water.
Example: We observed in class that zinc Example: We observed in class that zinc oxide is oxide is insolubleinsoluble in water. After adding it in water. After adding it to water, we can still see the zinc oxide...it to water, we can still see the zinc oxide...it doesn’t “go” anywhere!doesn’t “go” anywhere!

Types of MixturesTypes of Mixtures
When a solute dissolves in a solvent to make a solution,this is called a HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE.You cannot see any “separate parts” because it is all mixedtogether thoroughly.
What homogeneous mixtures can you think of?

Types of MixturesTypes of Mixtures
The other type of mixture isa HETEROGENEOUSMIXTURE. With a heterogeneous mixture, you can see the different “parts” of the mixture.
Sulfur and iron
