solubility in water: A term expressing the percentage of a material (by weight) that will dissolve in water at ambient temperature. Solubility information can be useful in determining spill cleanup methods and fire-extinguishing agents and methods for a material. Terms used to express solubility are: - negligible: Less than 0.1 percent; - slight: 0.1 to 1.0 percent; - moderate: 1 to 10 percent; - appreciable: more than 10 percent; - complete: soluble in all proportions.
