Water solubility, also known as aqueous solubility, is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in water at equilibrium, at a given temperature and pressure. This parameter is used in many environmental studies to help determine the fate of chemicals in the environment. Water solubility has been correlated to the partition coefficient, another parameter used to determine the fate of chemicals in the environment. The partition coefficient is defined as the ration of the equilibrium concentrations of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting of two largely immiscible solvents.
