Solute, solvent, solutionsOne important property in chemistry is called solubility. We think about solubility when we dissolve something in water or another liquid. If a chemical is soluble in water, then the chemical will dissolve or appear to vanish when you add it to water. If it is not soluble, or insoluble, then it will not dissolve. You will still see it floating around in the liquid or at the bottom of the container.
