Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissolving is when a soluble solute is added to a solvent. The solvent surrounds the solutes and makes a solution of it. The process of dissolving is known as dissolution. For a substance to be able to dissolve in a solvent, they must both have similar properties. It is generally known that like dissolves like. Polar solvents will dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.

Boiling can reverse dissolution process in that, the solvent can reach its boiling point and it wil begin to give out vapours. As more vapours are release, the solutes begin to aggregate and form back.
