  • Minerals That Dissolve in Hot Water: Halite & Gypsum
    Two minerals that dissolve in hot water to form solutions are:

    * Halite (NaCl) - This is common table salt. It dissolves readily in hot water, forming a sodium chloride solution.

    * Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) - While less soluble than halite, gypsum becomes more soluble in hot water. This forms a calcium sulfate solution.

    It's important to note that solubility is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of other substances. While these minerals dissolve in hot water, their solubility is still limited.
