Application Notes

Solubility is the degree in which a substance (termed “solute”) dissolves into a solvent, thereby forming a solution. Solubility is often measured in grams of solute per 100 mL of solvent, at a particular temperature. Solutes and solvents can both exist in various forms, like solids, liquids, gas,…
