Concept in Definition ABC

Solubility is a concept that belongs to the field of Chemistry and is commonly used to refer to the amount of solute (that substance that occurs to a lesser extent in a dissolution, generally a solid), that at a certain temperature, can be diluted in a solvent (that substance that facilitates the dispersion of another in its interior), thus forming a saturated solution.

Solubility can be expressed in various ways, in grams per liter, in moles per liter, or as a percentage of solute and even, in some situations, it can even be exceeded, naming the substances as oversaturated.

There are different alternatives when carrying out the solubility process, although the most recurrent and used to achieve that the solute dissolves is heat the sample, that is, high temperature is the simplest and most used way.

Meanwhile, not all substances will dissolve in the same solvent, for example, in the Water dissolve the alcohol and salt but substances like oil and the gasoline they don't do it once in the water

.
The character of polar (it has poles) or apolar (it has no poles) that a certain substance presents will be decisive when it comes to establishing whether it is a more or less soluble substance; polar compounds are not suitable for dissolving in ethyl ether, so that they can be dissolved in this substance it must have a very low polarity.

Among the compounds that stand out for having almost zero solubility are the following: aromatic compounds, paraffins and halogenated derivatives.

On the other hand, the word solubility is used both to designate the dissolution process and to express the concentration of solutions.
