| − | '''Solubility''' is the ability of a substance to act as a solute in a solution, usually with water as a solvent, or the degree to which it will dissolve.<ref>http://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/solubility/473350</ref> The solubility of a substance depends on not only the substance's nature but also its [[state of matter]], [[temperature]], [[pressure]] applies to it, and the solvent. In general, substances in categories such as [[Lipid|lipids]] and [[aromatic hydrocarbons]] will dissolve each other.<ref>Mead, James F. Lipids: chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition. 1986.</ref> Much of the principles regarding solubility were discovered by [[Joel Hildebrand]].<ref>http://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/Joel-H-Hildebrand/40442</ref> | + | '''Solubility''' is the ability of a substance to act as a solute in a solution, usually with water as a solvent, or the degree to which it will dissolve.<ref>http://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/solubility/473350</ref> The solubility of a substance depends on not only the substance's nature but also its [[state of matter]], [[temperature]], [[pressure]] applies to it, and the solvent.
