The maximum concentration that a chemical can achieve in water at given temperature and pressure.
The pressure contributed by the vapor phase of a substance in equilibrium with its liquid phase at a particular temperature.
A ratio that indicates how a chemical distributes itself between two phases, such as air and water.
A principle that describes the solubility of gases in liquids, stating that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid at a constant temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid.
