Question

How much solid solute can be dissolved in certain fixed quantity of a soivent

Answer 1

Answer:

Solubility is a measure of how much solute can be dissolved into a liter of solvent. Think of the example of water and salt. If you keep pouring salt into water, at some point the water isn't going to be able to dissolve the salt.

When a solution reaches the point where it cannot dissolve any more solute it is considered "saturated." If a saturated solution loses some solvent, then solid crystals of the solute will start to form. This is what happens when water evaporates and salt crystals begin to form.

Water can dissolve any amount of a solute less than that required for a saturated solution.
