Solubility The amount of a substance that dissolves in a given quantity of a solvent at a given temperature to form a saturated solution.

Any ions already present in solution will influence the solubility of an ionic substance that contains ions in common with those present in
solution – this is called the common ion effect. For instance if there are two solutions 0.15M NaCl and 0.05M NaCl and we are
trying to dissolve MgCl2 in these solutions  then it will be the 0.05M NaCl solution that will have the highest solubility for MgCl2.
