: When a [[solid]] is [[dissolve]]d it cannot be seen anymore because it has been broken down into pieces too small to see, even with a [[microscope]].
: Not all [[solid]]s can [[dissolve]] in water. A [[solid]] which can be [[dissolve]]d easily in [[water]] is described as [[soluble]] but one that cannot be easily [[dissolve]]d in [[water]] is described as [[insoluble]].
: A solid that has [[dissolve]]d in a [[liquid]] is called a [[solute]] and the liquid is called a [[solvent]].
: [[Conservation of Mass]] can be shown when a [[solute]] [[dissolve]]s in a [[solvent]] the total [[mass]] of the [[solution]] is the same as the total mass of the parts that made it.
