Detailed explanation-1: -The maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a specified temperature and pressure is its solubility. Solubility is often expressed as the mass of solute per volume (g/L) or mass of solute per mass of solvent (g/g), or as the moles of solute per volume (mol/L).

Detailed explanation-2: -Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature. Solubility is a characteristic property of a specific solute–solvent combination, and different substances have greatly differing solubilities.

Detailed explanation-3: -In most cases, only a certain maximum amount of solute can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent. This maximum amount is called the solubility of the solute. It is usually expressed in terms of the amount of solute that can dissolve in 100 g of the solvent at a given temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -(c) Maximum amount of solid that can be dissolved in a specified amount of a given solvent does not depend upon pressure. This because solid and liquid are highly incompressible and practically reamain unaffected by change in pressure.
