Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that the question is asking for the term that describes how well one substance can dissolve in another substance.
Recall that 'solubility' is the term used to describe the maximum amount of a substance (solute) that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure.
Recognize that 'reactivity' refers to how readily a substance undergoes a chemical reaction, which is different from dissolving.
Know that 'conductivity' relates to a substance's ability to conduct electricity, not its ability to dissolve.
Remember that 'molarity' is a measure of concentration, specifically moles of solute per liter of solution, and does not describe the ability to dissolve.
