Solution

The correct option is B False
No, X is not considered to be soluble in water.
Normally, any solute would probably mix with any solvent but the extent to which it happens is important.
To be scientifically accepted as soluble, it has been decided that more than 0.1 grams of solute should be dissolved per 100 ml of solvent. Anything less than that is considered insoluble.
