a metal solution of a solid dissolving into another solid?

Alloy.  The answer is alloy.  \nAn alloy is basically any homogeneous (same throughout) mixture of metals such as bronze, brass, and stainless steel.  Note that "homogeneous (same throughout) mixture" is the exact definition of a solution.

For all practical purposes, if a solution is saturated (can not dissolve any more) it is full and all others will fall to the bottom, undissolved. \n\nRealistically a small (very small) amount of the other powder could dissolve if it had different enough properties.

As this is clearly homework I will only do one as an example.\n\nNa+(aq) S=59.0\nCl-(aq) S=56.5\nNaCl(s) S=72.13\n\nSo S for dissolving solid NaCl = 56.5+72.13-59.0=69.63 J K-1 mol-1\n\nDissolving is mainly entropy driven - the process is actually slightly endothermic.

to remove a desired metal from a solution. IE gold, silver, copper.

It is just from the way that the elements are fused together to form the compound. It's the same as any other metal.

It is a mixture. A solution has ions in it and is possible only in liquid phase. A compound is a solid material that is formed when the materials react with each other. Even after they react they form mixed compounds. It is not suspension.

You are looking at a displacement reaction, in which the more reactive metal (Cu) is displacing the less reactive metal (Ag) from its salt solution (AgNO3).\nCu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) --> 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)\n\nHope this helps. :)

1.   Ag + KNO3 --> AgNO3 + K\n      single replacement means that a single element breaks a compound apart and joins with part of it--but which part--the positive or negative part?  It depends on what the single element is.  If it's a metal (#1 above), it will join with the negative part of the compound.  If it's a nonmetal (# 4 below), it will join with the positive part of the compound.\n4.  Cl2 + 2 KI --> 2 KCl + I2\nI'll leave you to have fun with the rest!

That is the concept of compound. Components of a compound lose their properties to make a compound.

metallic if it is bonded to another metal or ionic if it is bonded to a non-metal.

The previous poster is right:  Gold is the most ductile metal.  "Since the cohesive forces are strong and the atoms do not become widely separated from each other during their rearrangement, the metal holds together while its shape is being changed."

Well, you'd have to specify what you are trying to dissolve.  Many plastics are soluble in several solvents... N-Methylpyrrolidone being a good one.  Solvents generally do not attack metals, unless they contain water.  I would steer away from an acid or a base.  Can you say what you're thinking of?  If so, email me at connecticutpoet37@yahoo.com

Ag+ will precipitate in HCL solution as AgCl, but as for Ag(NO3), i am not so sure.

High MP and BP = ionic compound, giant structure or metal.\nNot soluble in water = metal or giant structure.\nCond solid = metal or possibly graphite.\nCond molten = metal or ionic compound\n\nSo it is probably a metal which will have metallic bonding.\n\nTungsten is a metal with an MP 3695, BP 5828
