Solubility is a measure of the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in 0.1 kg of a solvent at a given temperature.
- solubility is dependent on temperature. In general, but not without expectations, solubility increases with temperature
- smaller particles dissolves faster than larger particles
- a solid dissolves faster if the mixture is stirred or shaken
Examples
- tea with sugar - a solution of sugar and hot water (tea)
- seawater - a solution of salt and water
If 56 gram salt is dissolved in 0.8 kg water - 56 / 8 = 7 gram is dissolved in 0.1 kg water. The percentage solubility can be calculated as
(7 g/0.1kg) (10 0.1kg/kg) / (1000 g/kg) 100%
= 7 %
