What refers to the amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given volume of solvent at a given temperature and pressure?

Answer 1

The #"intrinsic solubility"# of a substance.........

Reasonably we may define solubility as:

#"Amount of solute"/"Volume of solution"#,

and thus #"solubility"# has the units of #mol*L^-1# or #g*L^-1#.

When we quote a #"solubility"# we usually specify a standard temperature and pressure (or such a standard is assumed) because a hot solution can generally hold more solute than a cold one..............

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
