How to calculate solubility

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.

To calculate solubility, you typically need to know the amount of solute that has dissolved in the solvent (in grams) and the volume of the solvent (in liters).

The solubility can be calculated by dividing the mass of the solute in grams by the volume of the solvent in liters. This calculation will give you the solubility of the solute in grams per liter (g/L).

Mathematically, the equation for solubility is:
Solubility (g/L) = Mass of Solute (g) / Volume of Solvent (L)

For example, if you have 10 grams of a solute (such as sugar) dissolved in 100 mL (0.1 L) of water, you would calculate the solubility as follows:
Solubility = 10 g / 0.1 L = 100 g/L

Remember that solubility can also be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent. These factors may need to be taken into account when calculating solubility in more complex situations.
