2. Imagine you have two beakers. Both beakers are filled with the same amount of water. The water in both beakers is the same temperature as well. You add 50 g of Substance A to the first beaker, and 50 g of Substance B to the second beaker. After stirring both beakers, there is a small pile of Substance A at the bottom of the first beaker. None of Substance B is visible in the second beaker. Which of the following statements is true?
o A. Substance A is less soluble in water than Substance B.
o B. Substance A is more soluble in water than Substance B.
o C. Substance A is not soluble in water.
o D. Substance B is not soluble in water.

To determine which statement is true, we need to understand what solubility means. Solubility refers to the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, such as water. When a substance dissolves, its individual particles separate and spread evenly throughout the solvent.
In this scenario, both beakers contain the same amount of water and are at the same temperature. You add 50 g of Substance A to the first beaker and 50 g of Substance B to the second beaker. After stirring, you observe that there is a small pile of Substance A at the bottom of the first beaker, while none of Substance B is visible in the second beaker.
Based on this observation, we can conclude that Substance A did not dissolve completely in the water, as there is still a pile of it at the bottom of the beaker. On the other hand, Substance B is not visible at all in the water, indicating that it dissolved completely.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
B. Substance A is more soluble in water than Substance B.
