I have read all the time that liquids are dissolved by other liquids e.g. how 
a small organic molecules (l) are dissolved in organic solvents (like 
dissolves like)etc. However 
when looking for a definition of dissolving I came across 'saturated solution' 
and don't see how this works with a liquid solvent and solute. Can a liquid 
be 'dissolved' or is it just 'miscible' and is there a difference between the 
two?
