Calculating solubility... do not understand it

Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum, so hello. I am studying for an AP Exam (Chemistry), and I was just going over some chapters when I came over something I could not get at all. I remember learning it, but I completely forgot about it! My question is: How is solubility/miscibility calculated?

Thanks!

This link explains it well: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/howtosolveit/equilibrium/s...

The miscibility of liquids (say like xylene and water) cannot be calculated so easily and is far beyond the AP level, so don't worry.

Thanks so much!
