Solubility
Is defined as the amount of the compound, usually in grams, that dissolves in a certain amount of liquid.
Saturated solution
When the solvent holds the maximum amount of solute it can before some of the solute doesn’t dissolve.
Unsaturated solution
Where the solvent is holding any less than the maximum amount of solute it can.
Supersaturated solution
A solvent that has more than the maximum amount of solute. The extra solute will precipitate.
