The solubility of a solute is determined by several factors including the polarity of the solute and solvent, temperature, and pressure. Essentially, solubility is governed by the interactions between the solute and solvent molecules. A solute will dissolve in a solvent if the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent molecules are strong enough to overcome the forces holding the solute molecules together.

The rate of urinary excretion of any solute is equal to the rate of filtration minus the rate of reabsorption plus the rate of secretion in the nephron. This process determines the amount of a solute that is eliminated in the urine.
Solution saturation compares the amount of solute in a solution to the maximum amount that can be dissolved at a given temperature. It determines if a solution is saturated (holding the maximum amount of solute), unsaturated (holding less solute than possible), or supersaturated (holding more solute than normally possible).
Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent under specific conditions, usually expressed as grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent. It is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent molecules. When a solute is soluble in a solvent, it means that the solute molecules can evenly disperse in the solvent to form a homogeneous mixture.
What determines a molecule's solubility degree in water is its polarity. Equals dissolve.
Parts per million (ppm) is calculated using the following formula: ppm = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 1,000,000. This formula determines the concentration of a solute in a solution based on its mass relative to the total mass of the solution.
