Chemical Property

A property that is not visible until a substance undergoes a chemical reaction, like solubility

Real World Example

Imagine trying to determine if a locked safe is empty or full without opening it. Just like you need to unlock the safe to discover its contents, solubility is a chemical property that only reveals itself when a substance is placed in a solvent. The locked safe represents a substance's potential to dissolve, and unlocking it by adding a solvent shows whether it will dissolve or not, similar to discovering whether the safe holds anything inside.
