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

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.


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 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.


The ability of material to retain its magnetism is known as?

The ability of a material to retain its magnetism is known as magnetic hysteresis. It refers to the phenomenon where a material retains some magnetization even after the external magnetizing field is removed.

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.

Combustibility is the term for a material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen.


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.


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 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 material is known for its ability to absorb water?

A material known for its ability to absorb water is called a hydrophilic material. Examples include cotton, paper, and certain types of polymers.


What is the relation between viscosity and flow ability of a material?

The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)


What is ductility malleability luster and conductivity?

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire. Malleability is the ability of a material to be flattened into thin sheets. Luster refers to the shininess or reflective quality of a material. Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electricity or heat.


What classifies a material as a solution?
