Identify the solute and solvent
Determine the temperature
Determine the pressure if the solute is a gas
Use a solubility chart or table if available
Convert the given amounts to the same units
Calculate the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in the solvent
Compare the actual amount of solute to the maximum amount
If needed, use the solubility formula: solubility = mass of solute / mass of solvent
Express the result in the required units
Check whether the solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated
