( Soluble)
Solubility is the characteristic physical property referring to the ability of a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent.[1] 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. Certain liquids are soluble in all proportions with a given solvent, such as ethanol in water. This property is known as miscibility.[2] Under certain conditions the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable.[3] In a solution, the solvent is generally a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture.[4] The species that dissolves, the solute, can be a gas, another liquid, or a solid. Solubilities range widely, from infinitely soluble such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water. The term insoluble is often applied to poorly soluble compounds, although in some cases insolubility means that a compound is very poorly soluble. Solubility occurs under dynamic equilibrium, which means that solubility results from the simultaneous and opposing processes of dissolution and precipitation. The solubility equilibrium occurs when the two processes proceed at a constant rate. The solubility equilibrium is relatively straightforward for covalent substances such as benzene. When dissolved in water, the benzene molecules remain intact but interact with and are generally surrounded by molecules of water. When, however, an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in water, the sodium chloride lattice dissociates into individual ions that are solvated or surrounded by water molecules. Nonetheless, NaCl is said to dissolve in water, because evaporation of the solvent returns crystalline NaCl.
