A solution is a homogeneous mixture. Solvents are components present in larger amounts Solutes are componets present in smaller amounts. A solute is soluble in a solvent if it dissolves to form a homogenous mixture. A saturated solution contains as much solute as possible. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute. Solubility is the measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solution (g/L, g/ml, mol/L, ppm)
Solubility is affected by heat, changing the solvent, and changing the solute.
