What property must a substance have if u want to use the substance to make an aqueous solution?
Thank you
It must be soluble in water.
Thank you:-)
To use a substance to make an aqueous solution, the substance must have the ability to dissolve in water. This property is known as solubility.
Solubility refers to the ability of a substance (known as the solute) to dissolve in a given solvent (in this case, water) to form a homogeneous mixture (solution). When a substance dissolves in water, it breaks down into individual particles or molecules that become dispersed throughout the water.
Different substances have different solubilities in water. Some substances, like table salt (sodium chloride), sugar (sucrose), or vinegar (acetic acid), have high solubilities and readily dissolve in water, forming aqueous solutions.
On the other hand, some substances have low solubilities in water or are insoluble, meaning they do not dissolve at all. For example, oil, wax, or certain gases like oxygen and nitrogen are insoluble in water.
So, if you want to use a substance to make an aqueous solution, make sure to choose a substance that is soluble in water.
