| The
amount of a substance that can dissolve before a solution
is saturated is called its solubility. Each
substance has its own solubility. The table gives some examples:
Notice
the range. You can dissolve 203g of sugar but only 0.11g
of slaked lime, for example. These are not the extremes:

For propanone there is no limit
-there is no such thing as a saturated solution. |
|
For chalk the solubility
is practically zero - we say it is insoluble.
