The #"intrinsic solubility"# of a substance.........

Explanation:

Reasonably we may define solubility as:

#"Amount of solute"/"Volume of solution"#,

and thus #"solubility"# has the units of #mol*L^-1# or #g*L^-1#.

When we quote a #"solubility"# we usually specify a standard temperature and pressure (or such a standard is assumed) because a hot solution can generally hold more solute than a cold one..............
