sugar dissolve in water. Does this mena that all white substances dissolve in water? explaines
1 answer
No, it does not necessarily mean that all white substances dissolve in water. The color of a substance is not a reliable indicator of its solubility in water. Solubility depends on the properties of the substance, such as its polarity, molecular structure, and chemical composition. Some white substances, like salt (sodium chloride), sugar (sucrose), and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), are soluble in water, while others, like talc (magnesium silicate), chalk (calcium carbonate), and clay (aluminum silicate), are insoluble or only slightly soluble in water. Therefore, the solubility of a substance in water cannot be determined solely by its color.
