Definition
concentration of a dissolved solute in a solution at the solubility limit of that solute under stated conditions
Explanatory Notes
Stated conditions refers to the environmental and compositional conditions under which a solubility limit is given. Examples include temperature; pressure, especially for gases; solvent identity and solvent composition; the identity and composition of any coexisting phase that constrains equilibrium, such as gas-phase partial pressures or the identity or polymorph of a solid phase; and solution-chemistry factors such as pH, ionic strength, and the presence and concentrations of other solutes or additives, including salts, cosolvents, complexing agents, or surfactants. Reported saturation concentration values are conditional on the stated condition set and may not be comparable across differing condition sets
Examples
- The saturation concentration of glucose in an aqueous solution at 25 °C; the saturation concentration of sodium chloride in water at 20 °C; the saturation concentration of dissolved oxygen in culture medium at 37 °C and 40% oxygen in the inlet gas; the saturation concentration of carbon dioxide in buffer at pH 7.2 under 5% CO₂ gas-phase composition; the saturation concentration of a poorly soluble drug substance in a formulation vehicle containing polysorbate at 25 °C; the saturation concentration of calcium phosphate in a cell culture medium at pH 7.0 and 37 °C; the saturation concentration of oxygen in a bioreactor culture medium at 37 °C under air sparging

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
SolutionSaturationConcentration(x) → Concentration(x) ∧ ∃s(Solution(s) ∧ qualityOf(x,s))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘solution saturation concentration’ then x is a ‘concentration’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘solution’
