The factors that affect solubility include:
1. **Temperature** - Generally, increasing temperature increases the solubility of solids and liquids, but decreases the solubility of gases.
2. **Nature of the Solute and Solvent** - The chemical properties of the solute and solvent (such as polarity) significantly influence solubility.
3. **Pressure** - This primarily affects the solubility of gases, where increased pressure increases solubility.
4. **Stirring/Agitation** - While it may not directly alter the maximum solubility, it can increase the rate at which a solute dissolves.
So, the correct responses that affect solubility are:
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Nature of the Solute and Solvent
- Stirring/Agitation
**Note:** While "Concentration of Solution" and "Particle Size/Surface Tension" can influence how quickly a solute dissolves or how saturation is reached, they don't fundamentally change the solubility limit of a solute in a given solvent under specific conditions.
