The important difference between how concentration and solubility are measured lies in what they refer to.
Concentration refers to the amount of a substance (solute) present in a given quantity of another substance (solvent or solution). Concentration can be measured in various ways, such as molarity (moles of solute per liter of solution), mass percentage, or parts per million (ppm).
On the other hand, solubility is a measure of how much of a solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent to form a saturated solution under specific conditions (temperature and pressure). Solubility is typically expressed as the maximum quantity of solute (in grams) that can dissolve in a fixed amount of solvent (usually in 100 grams or per liter) to form a saturated solution.
Therefore, concentration refers to the actual amount of solute present in a solution, while solubility refers to the maximum amount that can dissolve in a specific amount of solvent.

Remember the distinction between concentration and solubility. Concentration is measured in grams of solute per 100 mL of solution (g/100 mL solution), but solubility is measured in grams of solute per 100 mL of solvent(g/100 mL solvent). Different solutes have different solubility's, as Table 1 shows.

Is a saturated solution always a concentrated solution?
Not necessarily. Although saturation means that the solution cannot get concentrated anymore, it does not mean that the concentration is high, as there might be solutions that a saturated at low concentrations.
Concentration is always measured in grams of solute divided by liters of solution?
no ; false
What is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent?
This is known as the concentration or more technically the molarity or molality of the solution.
How is blood alcohol content measured?
Blood alcohol concentration is measured by means of blood tests. It is estimated by means os alcohol breath machines.
What are the units used to measure acids and bases?
The concentration of an acid or base in solution is measured in moles per litre. The strength of an acid or base in solution is measured on the pH scale. This is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It's a pure number, there are no units.
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 the method for sugar dissoving into water?
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the used solvent as well as on temperature and pressure. 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.
How do you determine the solubility of sparingly soluble salts?
sparingly soluble salts solubility is measured by conductometric method
Is a saturated solution always a concentrated solution?
Not necessarily. Although saturation means that the solution cannot get concentrated anymore, it does not mean that the concentration is high, as there might be solutions that a saturated at low concentrations.
How is concentration of salt measured?
The concentration of salt in water is measured with a salinometer or by the chemical determination of chlorine or sodium.
Can solubility be measured in grams of solute per gram of solution?
Yes.
What is platelet concentrate?
