Back

A solution that contains more solute than it normally would at a given temperature or pressure.

What is a 'saturated solution'?

Back

A solution that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is 'solubility'?

Back

The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature.
