Dissolve

To dissolve means to mix a solid, like sugar or salt, into a liquid so that the solid disappears and becomes part of the liquid.

Examples

• When you add sugar to your iced tea, it will dissolve quickly if you stir it well, making the drink taste sweeter and more delicious.
• In science class, we learned that when salt is added to water, it will dissolve, disappearing completely and creating a salty solution that we can taste.
• While baking cookies, it’s important to dissolve the baking soda in warm water first, so it spreads evenly throughout the dough and helps the cookies rise perfectly.
