Here's a breakdown:
* Solubility: This refers to the maximum amount of a substance (solute) that can dissolve in a given amount of another substance (solvent) at a specific temperature.
* 15g: This is the maximum amount of the compound (solute) that will dissolve in...
* 100g water: ...this amount of water (solvent) at...
* 0 degrees Celsius: ...this specific temperature.
Important Considerations:
* Saturation: When you reach this solubility limit, the solution is said to be saturated. Adding more of the compound will not dissolve, it will remain as a solid at the bottom of the container.
* Temperature Dependence: Solubility is usually temperature-dependent. For many compounds, solubility increases with temperature. This means that you could likely dissolve more of the compound in 100g of water if the temperature was higher than 0 degrees Celsius.
