Concept Introduction:

Solubility is the property of a substance in its solid or liquid or gaseous state called solute to dissolve in a liquid (dissolved in solid or gas also) called the solvent.

The solubility of any substance depends on its chemical structure, temperature, pressure and the presence of external chemicals.

A solute can be polar or nonpolar, the polar solute normally dissolves in polar solvent and nonpolar in nonpolar solvent. This is called like dissolves like.
