To determine

The difference between solubility and concentration.

Explanation of Solution

Solubility, of any solution can be defined as the amount of solute, dissolved into a solvent at particular condition of temperature and pressure.

Concentration of any solution can be defined as amount of solute in that solution.

SOLUBILITY Solubility can have only one value for a given solution at a particular condition of temperature. Solubility is a chemical property of a substance. It is measured in terms of amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium state

COCENTRATION Concentrations have any value below solubility. Concentration can be stated as the abundance of a constituentswhich is divided by the total volume of a mixture.

Conclusion:

Both solubility and concentration are an important property of substance which depends upon solute and solvent.If solute dissolve in solvent than the terms solubility is defined. If solute particles remain in the solution, then the term concentration is defined.
