ConcentrationSolubilityConcentration is amount of solute dissolved in a unit quantity (mass or volume) of a solutionSolubility is the maximum amount of the solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of the solvent.Concentration is expressed as percent by weight or volume, mole fraction, molarity etc.Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at given temperature and pressure. It is expressed as grams/litre or moles/litre.Based on concentration, a solution can be saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated.Based on solubility, the solutes are soluble or insoluble, miscible or immiscible.
Similarity :
Both depends on temperature.
