Answer:
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as on temperature, pressure and presence of other chemicals (including changes to the pH) of the solution. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration, where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution and begins to precipitate the excess amount of solute.

Strong solute-solvent attractions equate to greater solubility while weak solute-solvent attractions equate to lesser solubility.

Answer:
the amount of solute that can mix
with solvent at equilibrium state is defined as solubility of that solute
