Dissolution of Sodium Chloride in Water

In general chemistry, solutions are defined as homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. In these mixtures, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. Consider a scenario where you are tasked with dissolving table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) in water at a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
