Question

Is `"molarity"` the same thing a `"solubility"`?

Answer 1

No, solubility and molarity are two different properties.

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration, i.e. `"Number of moles"/"Volume of solution"`. Its units are thus `mol*L^-1`.

Solubility is typically defined as the ability of a substance (gas, liquid, or solid) to dissolve in a solvent (typically a liquid).

It can thus have diverse units:

`"Amount of solute"/"Volume of solution"`, i.e. `mol*L^-1, g*L^-1`, `mg*L^-1="ppm"`

A `"saturated solution"` is a solution whose concentration is equal to the concentration it would have if the solution were in equilibrium with undissolved solute.
