The solubility

  • Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in another substance (solvent) to form a solution.

  • In general, the solubility degree is expressed in grams of solute per liter of solvent.

  • Solubility of one fluid (liquid or gas) in another may be complete (totally miscible, for example: methanol and water) or partial (oil and water dissolve only slightly).

  • The solubility of a substance is influenced by several factors including the temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.
