(N/A) Solubility: The solubility of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature. It depends on the nature of the solute and solvent as well as temperature and pressure.
Saturated Solution: $A$ solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature and pressure is called a saturated solution. In this state,a dynamic equilibrium exists between the dissolved solute and the undissolved solute.

If $O_2$ gas is bubbled through water at $303 \; K$,the number of millimoles of $O_2$ gas that dissolve in $1 \; L$ of water is (Nearest Integer). (Given: Henry's Law constant for $O_2$ at $303 \; K$ is $46.82 \; kbar$ and partial pressure of $O_2 = 0.920 \; bar$). (Assume solubility of $O_2$ in water is too small,nearly negligible).
