Solution

Different substances dissolve to different extents in the same volume of a given solvent. They have different solubility.
Also the same substance can dissolve to a different extent in the same volume of a solvent at different temperatures.
Solubility depends upon the temperature.
The solubility of the gas in a liquid always decreases with a rise in temperature.
But the solubility of most solids in water usually increases with a rise in temperature.
Thus, How soluble a substance depends not only on what the substance is but also on the temperature.
