Which statement correctly includes the required conditions for solubility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Maximum dissolved amount of solute in a fixed solvent at a fixed temperature
A complete school-level definition of solubility specifies the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature. The identity of the solvent and the conditions are essential because changing them can change the value. Colour, smell, or bottle shape does not describe the equilibrium amount dissolved and therefore cannot define solubility.
