Question
Define solubility of a substance. How does it vary with temperature ?

Solution
Solubility is a property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution.
Solubility of a given solute in a given solvent depends on temperature. For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature up to 100°C. In liquid water at high temperatures (e.g., that approaching the critical temperature), the solubility of ionic solutes tends to decrease due to change in the property and structure of liquid water. The lower dielectric constant results in a less polar solvent.
Gaseous solutes exhibit more complex behavior with temperature. As the temperature is raised, gases usually become less soluble in water (to minimum, which is below 120°C for most permanent gases), but they are more soluble in organic solvents.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
