Solubility
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as on temperature, pressure and the pH of the solution. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration, where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution and begins to precipitate the excess amount of solute. The solubility of a substance is an entirely different property from the rate of solution, which is how fast it dissolves.
Most often, the solvent is a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture. One may also speak of solid solution, but rarely of solution in a gas (see vapor–liquid equilibrium instead).
The extent of solubility ranges widely, from infinitely soluble (without limit) (fully miscible) such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water. The term insoluble is often applied to poorly or very poorly soluble compounds. A common threshold to describe something as insoluble is less than 0.1 g per 100 mL of solvent.

Insoluble
by: Dave GahanI scattered the pictures
On the bedroom floor
I should have told you
Oh, many times before
I should have listened
When you were mine
It could be too late
I've already crossed the line
My angel
When you are whispering in my ear
You have nothing to fear
It's all, you have nothing to fear
You gave, you have nothing to fear
It's all, you have nothing to fear
I got, you have nothing to fear
You've always been here
By my side
I even felt you
When the earth began to slide
My angel
My angel
It's all, you have nothing to fear
We had, you have nothing to fear
It's all, you have nothing to fear
I got, you have nothing to fear
You have nothing to fear
