If a substance dissolves very little in water, what can it be called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sparingly soluble
A substance that dissolves only in a small amount in water is described as sparingly soluble. This term indicates limited solubility, not complete absence of dissolution. Therefore A is correct. Highly soluble means a large amount dissolves, solvent names the dissolving medium, and pure liquid does not describe the substance’s solubility.
