szolúbilis

Szolúbilis is a term used in chemistry to describe the ability of a substance, typically a solid, to dissolve in a solvent. When a substance is soluble, its particles disperse evenly throughout the solvent, forming a homogeneous solution. The extent to which a substance dissolves is known as its solubility, which is usually expressed as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.

Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of other substances can influence the solubility of a solute. For example, the solubility of most solid salts in water increases with temperature. Conversely, the solubility of gases in liquids generally decreases as temperature increases. The principle of "like dissolves like" is also important in determining solubility; polar solvents tend to dissolve polar solutes, while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

Understanding solubility is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications, including chemical synthesis, drug formulation, and environmental science. It helps in separating mixtures, purifying compounds, and predicting how substances will behave in different environments.
