1. The answer is: A) Solubility. Regents Chemistry defines “solubility” as “the maximum quantity of a solute that may be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature to make a saturated solution.”

2. The answer is: D) Plastic has low electrical conductivity, and metal has high electrical conductivity. Plastic is classified as an “insulator” and metal is considered a “conductor”.
