soluble salts

Soluble salts are compounds that dissolve in water to form a clear solution. When a salt dissolves, its particles spread evenly throughout the water, creating a mixture called a solution. Many common salts, like table salt (sodium chloride), are soluble because their particles easily separate and disperse in water. The ability of a salt to dissolve depends on its chemical properties; some salts are insoluble and do not mix well with water. Soluble salts are important in many processes, including agriculture, medicine, and industry, where they facilitate chemical reactions or deliver essential nutrients.
