Solubility is how much of a substance will dissolve in a given solvent. The rule for solubility is "like dissolves like". So polar substances, like ionic compounds, will dissolve in polar solvents, like water. Non-polar substances, like organics, will dissolve in more non-polar organic solvents, like acetone, ethanol, benzene, etc.

∙ 11y agoSolubility is the aptitude of a chemical substance to be soluble (to form a homogeneous solution) in a given solvent.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture between a solute (the dissolved substance) and a solvent (a substance which can dissolve the solute).

What is a solution with a concentration above the equilibrium solubility called?
a supersaturated solution
What is the difference between concentrated solution and solubility?
Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. The concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute that is dissolved.
What would increase the solubility of the solution?
increasing the temperature or pressure
How do you find the solubility of an element using a solubility curve?
When using a solubility curve to make a prediction about the amount of a solute within a solution, you must increase the amount of solute to make a solution, which will give you a concentrated solution
What is a unsaturated solution'?
A unsaturated solution is a solution with the concentration of solute under the maximal solubility at a given temperature.
What does it mean when you alter the solubility of a solution?
Modifying the temperature, pressure or adding another substances in the solution the solubility is modified.
How do you increase the solubility of a solution?
The term 'solubility of a solution' is meaningless. Perhaps you mean how do you increase the solubility of a solute in a solvent? In that case, if your solute is a solid, increase the temperature, and if it is a gas, decrease the temperature.
How is solution related to solubility?
Generally speaking, the more solute in the solution, the less the (remaining) solubility.
Solubility of matter?
Solubility is the ability of a substance to form a solution.
What do you mean by solubility of VOCs?
Solubility is the aptitude of a chemical substance to be soluble (to form a homogeneous solution) in a given solvent. I suppose that you think to volatile organic compounds.
What affects both the rate of solution and the solubility of a solid in a liquid?
Temperature affects both the rate of solution and the solubility of a solid in a liquid
Can pressure affect solubility of a substance in a solution?
Pressure can affect the solubility but the effect is not important.
Which would you expect to have a greater influence on the effect of a solution in natural water concentration or solubility?
The concentration; to prepare a solution the compound must have a solubility.
Is solubility Measured in grams of solute per gram of solution?
Solubility may be measured in grams of solute per gram of SOLVENT (not solution)
What is a solution with a concentration above the equilibrium solubility called?
a supersaturated solution
Why the volume solution in conical flask is important in solubility ionic salt in sea water?
The volume solution in conical flask is very important in solubility ionic salt water. This is because it determines its solubility.
What is the amount of a solute dissolved in a solution?
solubility.
