Insolubility

[edit]

It should generally be frowned upon to say something is insoluble in all solvents. For one thing, it is exceedingly unlikely that every solvent has been tried. Have molten salts been tried? How about supercritical gasses? Anhydrous ammonia? Anhydrous HF? Additionally, some people would argue that acid and base solutions count as solvents.

It is much better to specify. For instance, I would recommend that the article change to saying that it is "not soluble in common organic solvents." This is easily verifiable and much more likely to be accurate. Science Is My Life (talk) 16:08, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
