Solubility refers to how well a substance dissolves in a solvent. There are different types of solubilities as defined by the USP. A saturated solution contains as much solute as possible dissolved at a given temperature, while an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute. Solubility depends on properties like polarity and intermolecular forces. Miscibility refers to the ability of two liquids to mix in all proportions without separating into layers. Terms like freely soluble and sparingly soluble describe relative solubility. Solubility testing is done to determine product quality and specifications.
