Assuming you're speaking of an element/compound/molecules ability to dissolve in water, it's called a solute's solubility.

Does an unsaturated solution have undissolved material lying on the bottom of its container?

No, an unsaturated solution does not have undissolved material lying on the bottom of its container. In an unsaturated solution, the solvent can still dissolve more solute, meaning that all the solute added has completely dissolved. If there were undissolved material present, the solution would be classified as saturated instead.


Do the volume of the material stays constant when a solution is diluted?

No, the volume of the material increases when a solution is diluted because you are adding more solvent to decrease the concentration of the solute. Diluting a solution does not change the total amount of material present, but it does change the volume in which that material is dispersed.


What are the different characteristic of materiala explain each?

Hardness: The measure of how resistant a material is to deformation or scratching. Density: The amount of mass in a given volume of a material. Conductivity: The ability of a material to transfer heat or electricity. Strength: The ability of a material to withstand applied forces without yielding or fracturing. Ductility: The ability of a material to be stretched or deformed without breaking.


What do you call a solution that contains more dissolved material than its solubility will?

A solution that contains more dissolved material than its solubility can hold is called a supersaturated solution. It is temporarily stable but can become unstable and result in the excess solute precipitating out of the solution.


Is ability to burn intensive or extensive?

The ability to burn is an extensive property, meaning it depends on the amount of material present. The more material you have, the more it can potentially burn.

What is the dielectric value of a 12 percent sodium hypochlorite solution?

The dielectric value of a 12% sodium hypochlorite solution is typically around 56. Dielectric value is a measure of the material's ability to store electrical energy in an electric field, and it is influenced by the concentration and properties of the solution.

Is a saturated solution necessarily a dilute solution?

A saturated solution contains as much pof the dissolved material as possible. A dilute solution is almost the opposite, it has only a trace of the dissolved material and the solution could contain much more.


What measures a solutions ability to neutralise acid?

pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution. A solution's ability to neutralize acid is measured by its pH level and its buffering capacity, which is the solution's ability to resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added.


What are property of a solution?

The presence of solutes in a solution alter the ability of solvent molecules to interact. This affects the ability of the solvent to go through phase changes. These are called colligative properties. The basic colligative properties are boiling point, freezing point, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure.


Is a solution a chemical or physical?

A solution is a material not a change; dissolving is a physical process.

What is a special mixture formed when a material dissolves in water?

A special mixture formed when a material dissolves in water is called a solution. In a solution, the material that dissolves is known as the solute, while water is the solvent. The solute particles are dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture.


What classifies a material as a solution?

It is a homogeneous mixture.
