How Solubility and Dissolving Work

The ability of substances to dissolve is critical to life on earth. In this video we explore how things dissolve, how solubility works, and define key terms such as solute and solvent. You can test solubility yourself by mixing substances such as salt, sugar, baking soda, flour, and others in water and seeing which are soluble. Leave your observations in the comments below!

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

So, when table salt is dissolved in water, it isn't really salt (NaCl) anymore? Since the water molecules grab the sodium and chlorine atoms and pull them apart, you no longer have sodium chloride and water - you have water with separate sodium and chloride ions. Is that correct?
But then if you were to evaporate the water, the sodium and chloride ions reattach and re-form the sodium chloride molecules that you had before?

[@keypo790]

same, i was in disbelief at first, but after looking up mixing other liquids like NaHO(sodium hydroxide) with HCl(hydrocholoric acid) this made me think that they do separate, and after learning more about why Na as its own wouldnt actually be hazardous in solutions since their chemical properties is all about change of electrons, UNFORTUNATELY I couldn't link those reddit sources here, youtube may remove my comments if links is present, but you can look em up yourself.

[@BaoTran-ls7oy]

Seems like that would be the case when water containing salt is boiled. Thanks for sharing!

@florbz5821 Such an L learning about this at the age of 25. Bro chemistry just ain't your thing. You should probably quit trying at this point in life, after knowing that a 13 years old boy learned about this earlier than your entire life span.

[@BaoTran-ls7oy]

Thank you, great video!!
Can you please explain how water moves soluble nutrition to cells in the body?
For example, Salt. Since salt is dissolved in water; so, when a cell needs salt, does a cell need a stronger charge than water in order to pull sodium and chloride?

[@ashinedurita2073]

[@RKYT0]

nice video!!
so these ions dont form a new molecule of course so the bond is very weak i assume.
what weak bond is it that holds the Na and Cl to the H2O? Van-der-Waals Force? is this the same force in every solution; water is also soluted in magma for example.

[@leandrikos2606]

No, it isn't a Van der Waals force, it is an ion-dipole force

I have a question is water the only liquid that can dissolve other substances?

[@JaCrispy313]

Nope, just as long as both the solute and solvent are polar; or if both solute and solvent are non polar.

But then what happens to water molecules when they are evaporated? How do they even evaporate on the molecular level? Why don’t the sodium or chlorine ions also become a gas?

[@Bro-ku4ls]

I agree with this statement and as a matter of fact, I teach this topic to a number of year 2 students

[@uncleahane4207]

I agree completely with Ur statement as I believe that this sensation is very rare and very few can experience it. This feeling can only be categorised as the most satisfactory feeling known to man and this video is a very good example and allows those who have not experienced said feeling to finally feel it.

[@TheGroovyGoose]

However you must take into account that teaching this to year two students could pose a cunendrum as cumbersome as it is I teach this exquisite topic to nursery students, I find h2O is very fascinating when blowed up little children.

[@lancethrustworthy]

You left us hanging about the salt dissolved in water; didn't give us a conclusion - how/why the sodium and chloride went back to salt and didn't stay separate when the water evaporated.
Are we talking 'valences'? Oxygen has a stronger valence and thus is better able to break up molecules?

If the Sodium and Chloride ions are being pulled from each other, why does it still taste like salt-water and not the individual molecules (H2O, H2O-Cl, H2O-Na)?

[@thesciencebasement5749]

Excellent question! The receptors on our tongue that detect "saltiness" respond primarily to the sodium ion, which is what gives things a salty taste. When we taste things that are "salty" the salt molecules dissociate in either the water in the food or in our saliva into their ionic forms, allowing us to taste the sodium.

[@atulgupta5215]

Then why we don't get the harsh taste of chlorine
