Solubility is a chemical property referring to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. 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.
A solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
The two components of a solution are the solvent and the solute. The solvent is the substance is doing the dissolving, and the solute is the substance that is being dissolved. ... For example, gases can form solutions with other gases, and also with liquids.
include surface area, stirring, and temperature, because they increase the frequency and energy of the collisions between the particles of the solute and the solvent. The substance in which the solute dissolves is called the solvent.
Henry's law states that, at a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Increasing the surface area increases the rate of solubility of a solid because a larger number of molecules have contact with the solvent.
