Selected: pressure, temperature, chemical properties.

Brief reasons:
- Pressure: changes solubility of gases (Henry’s law) — higher pressure increases gas solubility; it has negligible effect on most solids/liquids.
- Temperature: strongly affects solubility — solids usually become more soluble with higher temperature, gases usually become less soluble.
- Chemical properties: the nature of solute and solvent (polarity, ionic vs. molecular, hydrogen bonding, molecular size, pH, etc.) controls whether and how well a substance dissolves.

Color and flavor do not affect solubility — they are sensory properties, not determinants of how a substance dissolves.
