Solubility

Frae Wikipedia, the free beuk o knawledge

Solubility is the property o a solit, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance cried solute tae dissolve in a solit, liquid, or gaseous solvent tae furm a homogeneous solution o the solute in the solvent. The solubility o a substance fundamentally depends on the physical an chemical properties o the solute an solvent as well as on temperatur, pressur an the pH o the solution. The extent o the solubility o a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration, whaur addin mair solute daes nae increase the concentration o the solution an begin tae precipitate the excess amoont o solute.
