Question

The amount of solute which dissolves in 100 g of water at a particular temperature to form a saturated solution is called its .

Answer 1

Solubility: The amount of solute which dissolves in 100 g of water at a particular temperature to form a saturated solution is called its solubility.

For example - 36 g of common salt can be dissolved in 100 g of water at 20°C, therefore, 36 g/100 g is the solubility of common salt at that temperature.

Therefore, the amount of solute which dissolves in 100 g of water at a particular temperature to form a saturated solution is called its solubility.
