A saturated solution of compound X in water has a greater concentration than does a saturated solution of compound Y. Does it follow that compound X is also more soluble in water?
A) No, the greater the concentration of a compound in water, the less soluble it is.
B) Yes, compound X is more soluble than is compound Y because a greater concentration in water can be obtained.
C) No, concentration of a solution is not correlated with how soluble that solution is in water.
D) Since both solutions are saturated, it cannot be determined which compound has a greater solubility.
