What is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solubility
Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature and, where relevant, pressure to form a stable solution. Concentration is the amount actually present, vapour pressure concerns evaporation, and osmosis concerns solvent movement through a semipermeable membrane. Thus A is correct.
