Question

Which statement best describes insoluble substances? Insoluble substances remain the same when in water. Insoluble substances become part of the liquid substance. Water does not remain when an insoluble substance is added. Insoluble substances change from solid to liquid states.

Answer 1

Insoluble substances remain the same when in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance is regarded as insoluble, it means that the substance remains the same in water.

Soluble substances usually form one continuous phase with water when they are added to water (eg when salt is added to water).

However, when camphor is added to water, it does not form a single phase with water. It remains the same in the water and maintains a separate phase from the water. Hence camphor is an insoluble substance.
