Abstract

The solubility of a substance is the maximum amount of it which will dissolve in a given amount of solvent, at given pressure and temperature, yielding a homogeneous molecular or ionic dispersion. If solubility must be known accurately, it must be determined experimentally. There is no reliable way to calculate solubility from the physical and chemical properties of the pure compound. Quite frequently, however, there are criteria for the prediction of solubilities, based on creditable equations meeting the rigorous requirements of sound thermodynamic principles. While an ever-increasing reliance can be placed on theoretical calculations—as molecular data become available— it will not be possible to replace experiment with theory in the determination of solubilities. It is only fortunate that it is relatively easy to measure solubilities with adequate precision.
