A sample of potassium chlorate (15.0 g) is dissolved in 201 g of water at 70 °C with precautions taken to avoid evaporation of any water. The solution is cooled to 30.0 °C and no precipitate is observed. This solution is __________.

Here are some properties of solutions: Homogeneous mixture: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The particles of a solution are smaller than 10-9 meters in diameter and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. All components of a solution appear as a single phase. Colligative properties: These are the physical changes that occur when a solute is added to a solvent. Colligative properties are determined by the number of solute particles present, as well as the amount of solvent present. Solubility: This is the ability of a compound to dissolve in water. The...

Here are some properties of solutions:
Homogeneous mixture: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The particles of a solution are smaller than 10-9 meters in diameter and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. All components of a solution appear as a single phase.
Colligative properties: These are the physical changes that occur when a solute is added to a solvent. Colligative properties are determined by the number of solute particles present, as well as the amount of solvent present.
Solubility: This is the ability of a compound to dissolve in water. The maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a certain amount of solvent at a certain temperature is called the solubility of a solute.
Molarity: This determines some of the solution's properties, including freezing point depression and boiling point elevation.
Stability: Solutions are generally very stable, which means that the solute particles do not separate out on keeping.
