Question

What is solubility? How do we use it to describe solutes?

Answer 1

Solubility is a term used to describe the amount of materials (solids, liquids, or gas) which can be dissolved in a solvent to make a solution. A solvent is the dissolving agent, e.g. water. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solution. In this science fair project, solutions in which the solvent is a liquid will be investigated.

Answer 2

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solubility is the amount of solute dissolved into solution where solution is solute + solvent. Application is a concentration term which is amount of solute in an amount of solution. To be candid about the term, concentration it is nothing more than a 'density' expression defining the distribution of solute in solution. Since solutions are homogeneous solutions the solute concentration is consistent throughout the solution.
