Solubility is the "degree to which a substance dissolves in a solvent to make a solution (usually expressed as grams of solute per litre of solvent). Solubility of one fluid (liquid or gas) in another may be complete (totally miscible; e.g., methanol and water) or partial (oil and water dissolve only slightly). In general, "like dissolves like" (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve in each other but not in water). Some separation methods (absorption, extraction) rely on differences in solubility, expressed as the distribution coefficient (ratio of a material's solubilities in two solvents). Generally, solubilities of solids in liquids increase with temperature and those of gases decrease with temperature and increase with pressure. A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure is said to be saturated."- merriam-webster.com

What is the ability of a substance to scratch another substance?

The ability of a substance to scratch another substance is referred to as its hardness. Hardness is a measure of how resistant a material is to deformation, particularly permanent deformation, scratching, or abrasion. It is often assessed using scales such as Mohs hardness scale, which ranks materials based on their ability to scratch one another. In general, a harder material can scratch a softer material, indicating its superior resistance to wear and damage.
