What does sand not dissolving in water show?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: All solids are not soluble in water
Water is a useful solvent, but no solvent dissolves every substance equally. Sand does not dissolve appreciably because its composition and structure do not interact favourably with water. Therefore A correctly shows that all solids are not water-soluble. The example does not prove that water is not a solvent or that temperature is irrelevant.
