Looking up compound solubility

To look up a compound's solubility enter its chemical formula or name and click 'Lookup'. In chemical formula you may use:
  • Any chemical element. Capitalize the first letter in chemical symbol and use lower case for the remaining letters: Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, S, O, H, C, N, Na, K, Cl, Al.
  • Functional groups: D, T, Ph, Me, Et, Bu, AcAc, For, Tos, Bz, TMS, tBu, Bzl, Bn, Dmg
  • parenthesis () or brackets [].
  • Common compound names.
Examples of compounds with solubility data: H2O, NaCl, CaCO3, NH3, HCl, H2SO4, AgCl, BaSO4, Glucose, Ethanol, Benzoic acid, Cholesterol, water, ammonia, glucose, ethanol.

Compound solubility lookup provides water solubility data for chemical compounds.

Solubility Classification

Solubility is classified using the following ranges (g/L):
  • Very soluble: ≥ 1000 g/L
  • Freely soluble: 100 to 1000 g/L
  • Soluble: 30 to 100 g/L
  • Sparingly soluble: 10 to 30 g/L
  • Slightly soluble: 1 to 10 g/L
  • Very slightly soluble: 0.1 to 1 g/L
  • Practically insoluble: < 0.1 g/L

What is solubility?

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, typically water. It is usually expressed as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. Water solubility is particularly important in chemistry, biology, and environmental science.

Factors affecting solubility

Several factors influence the solubility of compounds:
  • Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase solubility for most solids
  • Pressure: Affects gas solubility according to Henry's law
  • Molecular structure: Polar compounds tend to be more soluble in polar solvents
  • pH: Can affect the solubility of acids, bases, and salts
  • Presence of other ions: Can increase or decrease solubility through common ion effects
