1. what are the units for solubility?
2. what is the density of water?

Explanation:

1. Solubility represents the amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent. Common units include grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent ($g/100g$ solvent), moles of solute per liter of solution ($mol/L$), etc.
2. The density of water is a well - known physical property. At standard temperature and pressure (STP, $0^{\circ}C$ and $1$ atm), the density of water is $1.00\ g/cm^{3}$ or $1000\ kg/m^{3}$.

Answer:

1. Units for solubility can be $g/100g$ solvent (e.g., grams of solute per 100 grams of water), $mol/L$ (moles of solute per liter of solution) etc.
2. The density of water is $1.00\ g/cm^{3}$ (or $1000\ kg/m^{3}$ at STP).
