Salt is a solute, meaning it can dissolve in anything with solvent compounds such as water; it can also create a mixture when a solute and solvent are combined.

water is known as “universal solvent.” Observation showed that many salts and sugars were able to fully dissolve in the water solvent, but corn oil did not (Figure1).The reason salts would dissolve into water solvent because water molecule carried partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on oxygen atom; they could react with cation and anion from salts that have ionic bonds (Reece, etc. 2011). Therefore, salts such as sodium chloride magnesium sulfate would fully…
