Which statement is correct about an insoluble substance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It dissolves very little or not at all in the given solvent
“Insoluble” means that a substance has negligible or very low solubility in the specified solvent under the stated conditions. It does not necessarily mean that absolutely no molecules dissolve. The term is relative: a material considered insoluble in water may dissolve in another solvent or under different conditions. It does not become the solvent and does not force pressure to zero.
