Study Notes

Expressions of Solubility

Solubility of a solute in a solvent can be expressed quantitatively using several concentration units.
Solubility can also be expressed in parts per parts of solvent, like parts per million (ppm).
The British Pharmacopoeia and similar compendia use the terms 'insoluble', 'very highly soluble', and 'soluble' to described solubility.
These terms are imprecise and not very useful for quantitative work.
Specific concentration terms should be used for quantitative work.
