Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a specific amount of solvent, usually expressed as grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent. Unsaturated solutions contain less than the maximum amount of solute and can dissolve more, while saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute with some remaining undissolved at the bottom of the container. The solubility of most solids increases with increasing temperature, while the solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature.
