Concentration vs. Solubility — What's the Difference?

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.

Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as on temperature, pressure and presence of other chemicals (including changes to the pH) of the solution.

The action or power of focusing all one's attention

The quality or condition of being soluble.

A close gathering of people or things

The amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent.

The relative amount of a particular substance contained within a solution or mixture or in a particular volume of space

The condition of being soluble.

The act or process of concentrating, especially the fixing of close, undivided attention.

(chemistry) The amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of a solvent, to give a saturated solution, under specified conditions.

The condition of being concentrated.

The quality, condition, or degree of being soluble or solvable; as, the solubility of a salt; the solubility of a problem or intricate difficulty.

Something that has been concentrated.

The tendency to separate readily into parts by spurious articulations, as the pods of tick trefoil.

(Chemistry) The amount of a specified substance in a unit amount of another substance.

The quality of being soluble

The act, process or ability of concentrating; the process of becoming concentrated, or the state of being concentrated.

The quantity of a particular substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent (yielding a saturated solution)

The direction of attention to a specific object.

The act, process or product of reducing the volume of a liquid, as by evaporation.

The act or process of removing the dress of ore and of reducing the valuable part to smaller compass, as by currents of air or water.

A field or course of study on which one focuses, especially as a student in a college or university.

The proportion of a substance in a whole.

(chemistry) The amount of solute in a solution measured in suitable units (e.g., parts per million (ppm))

The matching game pelmanism.

The act or process of concentrating; the process of becoming concentrated, or the state of being concentrated; concentration.

The act or process of reducing the volume of a liquid, as by evaporation.

The act or process of removing the dress of ore and of reducing the valuable part to smaller compass, as by currents of air or water.

The strength of a solution; number of molecules of a substance in a given volume (expressed as moles/cubic meter)

The spatial property of being crowded together

Strengthening the concentration (as of a solute in a mixture) by removing extraneous material

Increase in density

Complete attention; intense mental effort

Bringing together military forces

Great and constant diligence and attention
