(N/A) Solubility: The solubility of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature. It depends on the nature of the solute and solvent as well as temperature and pressure.
Saturated Solution: $A$ solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature and pressure is called a saturated solution. In this state,a dynamic equilibrium exists between the dissolved solute and the undissolved solute.
