Detailed explanation-1: -Solubility is the ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (referred to as the solute) to dissolve in solvent (usually a liquid) and form a solution. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the solvent used, as well as temperature and pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute by virtue of which they dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent. For example, sugar, a solute dissolves in water a solvent to form a sugar solution. This shows that sugar is soluble in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solubility is an ability of a substance to dissolve. In the process of dissolving, the substance which is being dissolved is called a solute and the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. A mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -solvent: the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solids and liquids show almost no change in solubility with changes in pressure. But gases are very dependent on the pressure of the system. Gases dissolve in liquids to form solutions. This dissolution is an equilibrium process for which an equilibrium constant can be written.
