What does it mean for a substance to be "Soluble"?

Cannot be dissolved in any solvent
Can be dissolved only in alcohol
Can be dissolved in any solvent
Cannot be dissolved in water

The correct answer is: Can be dissolved in any solvent

Soluble means that a substance is capable of being dissolved in a solvent. This means that a substance is able to mix with another substance, typically a liquid, to create a solution. Option A is incorrect because it states that a substance cannot be dissolved in any solvent, which is the opposite of solubility. Option B is incorrect because it restricts solubility to only alcohol, while option C states that a substance can be dissolved in any solvent. Finally, option D is incorrect because it also limits solubility to a specific solvent, water, when in reality a substance can be soluble in multiple solvents.
