Water<span> can </span>dissolve salt<span> because the positive part of </span>water<span> molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of </span>water<span> molecules attracts the positive sodium ions. The amount of a substance that can </span>dissolve<span> in a liquid (at a particular temperature) is called the solubility of the substance. So the solute is the salt and the solvent is the water. I believe that is correct.</span>
