  "definition": "1. The maximum concentration of a chemical compound which can result when it is dissolved in water. If a substance is water soluble, it can very readily disperse through the environment.\n\n2. The maximum possible concentration of a chemical compound dissolved in water. If a substance is water soluble it can very readily disperse through the environment.\n\n3. The extent to which a compound will dissolve in water. The log of solubility is generally inversely related to molecular weight.\n\n4. Measure of the maximum amount of a chemical that will dissolve in pure water.",
