The ratio of the maximum amount of solute to the volume of solvent in which this solute can dissolve. Often expressed in units of grams of solute per 100g of water, or in moles of solid per liter of solution.

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature. Generally, for a solid in a liquid, solubility increases with temperature; for a gas, solubility decreases. Common measures of solubility include the mass of solute per unit mass of solution (mass fraction), mole fraction of solute, molality, molarity, and others.

the upper limit of concentration of a solute.

The ability of one material of one material to enter into a solution with another.

the degree to which a substance can be dissolved in a defined solvent.

the amount of a substance that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at specified conditions of temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution. AgBr Ag+ + Br− Ksp = [Ag+][Br

A measure of how much of a given substance will dissolve in a liquid. Usually measured in weight per unit volume.

the degree to which a substance will dissolve in a particular solvent.

The amount of substance that will dissolve into a given amount of another substance.

A term expressing the percentage of a material (by weight) that will dissolve in water at ambient temperature.

The amount of a substance that will dissolve per unit volume of a particular solvent.

Stated in terms of the parts of solvent needed to dissolve one part of the solute (US)

The amount of a substance that dissolves in a particular solvent under controlled conditions (pH, temperature).

the ability to dissolve in water. For instance the less soluble a given amount of material the more difficult it is for the body to remove it. An insoluble material inhaled into the lungs for example would have more time to do damage to the lungs.

the amount of a substance that dissolves in a given volume of solvent at a given temperature

the amount of material that can dissolve in a given amount of water or other solvent at a given temperature to produce a stable solution. Highly soluble substances dissolve quickly. Soluble products will not settle out of a solution unless they are precipitated.

The concentration of a substance that dissolves in a given solvent. HIGH SOLUBILITY: readily dissolves. LOW SOLUBILITY: does not dissolve very well.

The quality or condition of being soluble. The amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent

The concentration of a compound that dissolves in a solvent (i.e. water).

The amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a liquid at a given pressure and temperature.

the quantity of a particular substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent (yielding a saturated solution)

the amount of solute that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution usually depends on temperature.

the quality or state of being loosened or dissolved

The degree to which a chemical can dissolve in a solvent, such as water.

Amount of a substance that will dissolve in a specified quantity of another substance.

the quantity of material that dissolves in a given volume of water

The capacity of a substance to be dissolved.

The degree to which a chemical can dissolve in a Solvent, forming a Solution

The tendency of an aggregate to be dissolved by a liquid

Ability of a substance to dissolve in a liquid

the amount of a solute dissolved in a given quantity of solvent.

The ability of a chemical (pollutant) to be dissolved into a solvent (water column).

The largest amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given amount of a liquid, usually water. For a highly water-soluble compound, such as table salt, a lot can dissolve in water. Motor oil is only slightly soluble in water.

property of a substance describing its ease to be dissolved in another substance

see solution

(4) the quantity of solute that dissolves in a given volume and type of solvent, at a given temperature and pressure, to form a saturated solution. The degree to which compounds are soluble depends on their ability, and that of other dissolved species, to form ions and aqueous complexes in a particular drainge chemistry.

The ability of one material (the solute) to dissolve in another (the solvent).

The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent, such as water. This is very important when cleaning up leaks and/or spills.

The capacity to be dissolved or liquefied.

The tendency for a material to dissolve in another material.

solubilities; equilibrium solubility; solubleness. The solubility of a substance is its concentration in a saturated solution. Substances with solubilities much less than 1 g/100 mL of solvent are usually considered insoluble. The solubility is sometimes called "equilibrium solubility" because the rates at which solute dissolves and is deposited out of solution are equal at this concentration.

The tendency of a substance to dissolve in some other substance.

The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.

The relative ability of a substance (solid or gas) to dissolve in water or another liquid.

the measure of a gas or solid's tendency to dissolve.

the amount of mass of a compound that will dissolve in a unit volume of solution.

The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solution under a given set of conditions.

The property of a substance to dissolve in another and form a solution.

Capability of being dissolved. The amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given solvent (i.e., lung fluid) under specified conditions.

Describes the amount of a substance that will dissolve in another substance. Generally, the more fluid the substance becomes, the greater the solubility.

The amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of liquid.

A measure of the degree to which a substance can dissolve in a solvent.

the ability of one substance to mix with another.

The extent to which one substance will dissolve in another substance.

The degree to which one material may be completely mixed with or dissolved in another material.

The ability to mix homogeneously a substance that will dissolve in a specified amount of another substance.

A measure of how well an additive dissolves in molten aluminium (can also be applied to solid solutions)

The capability of being dissolved in a fluid, such as body fluids.

The ability or tendency of one substance to blend uniformly with or dissolve into another; the ability of a material to dissolve in water or another liquid. The ability of a substance to form a solution with another substance.

The quantity of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent to form a saturated solution. The solubility of a substance depends on the temperature. Generally, for a solid in a liquid, solubility increases with temperature; for a gas, solubility decreases.

The maximum quantity of one gas, liquid or solid material which will dissolve in a liquid solvent at a given temperature. Since solubility varies with temperature, it is usually expressed at a standard temperature such as 25 degrees C.

Solubility refers to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent.Atkins' Physical Chemistry, 7th Ed. by Julio De Paula, P.W. Atkins ISBN 0198792859 It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The resulting solution is called a saturated solution of miscible components.
