Solubility diagrams

Solubility diagrams visually represent how much a substance, like a salt or sugar, can dissolve in a liquid at different temperatures. They typically plot temperature on the x-axis and the maximum amount of solute (solid dissolved in liquid) on the y-axis. These diagrams help us understand conditions for dissolving or crystallizing substances, indicating at which points a substance is fully dissolved or begins to crystallize out. They are essential in fields like chemistry and engineering for designing processes such as salt purification, food production, or pharmaceutical development.
