This tendency to dissolve is quantified as substance’s solubility, its maximum concentration in a solution at equilibrium under specified conditions. A saturated solution contains solute at a concentration equal to its solubility.

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where solutes are uniformly distributed within solvents, and their solubility is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. Nature of Solute and Solvent: "Like dissolves like" – polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents.
