Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Solubility is the ability of a material to dissolve in water or another liquid. Solubility may be expressed as a ratio or may be described using words such as insoluble, very soluble or miscible. Often, on an MSDS [material safety data sheet], the "Solubility" section describes solubility in water since water is the single most important industrial solvent. Solubility information is useful for planning spill clean-up and fire fighting procedures. 3, record 2, English, - solubility
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Solids vary from 0 - 100% in their degree of solubility in liquids depending on the chemical nature of the substances ... Liquids and gases are often said to be miscible in other liquids and gases, rather than soluble. 2, record 2, English, - solubility

Dans un liquide, on peut dissoudre un solide, un liquide ou un gaz. Les molécules du corps dissous peuvent se disperser parmi celles du solvant parce que celles-ci sont dans un état désordonné. [...] La solubilité varie beaucoup suivant les interactions entre les molécules du solvant et du soluté; généralement elle croît avec la température. [...] La solubilité d'un corps dans l'eau à une température donnée est la masse de ce corps, exprimée en grammes, dissoute dans 100 g d'eau. 3, record 2, French, - solubilit%C3%A9
