Does soluble mean dissolve?

When scientists claim that a substance is soluble, they mean that it can be dissolved, most commonly in water. For example, sodium chloride (ordinary table salt) is soluble in water.

What is the difference between rate of dissolving and solubility?

Solubility and dissolution are different concepts, but are related. Solubility is the capacity of a solute to dissolve in a pure solvent. This means the maximum amount of solute that the pure solvent can hold in solution, at specified environmental conditions. ... Dissolution rate is a kinetic process.
