He described it as highly soluble in water, readily soluble in concentrated acids and salts upon heating, and only slightly soluble in oils.
As the temperature is raised, gases usually become less soluble in water (to minimum, which is below 120 °C for most permanent gases citation ), but more soluble in organic solvents.
Exceptions include scopolamine hydrobromide, which is soluble in organic solvents, and the water-soluble quinine sulfate.
For example, many metals and their oxides are said to be "soluble in hydrochloric acid", although in fact the aqueous acid irreversibly degrades the solid to give soluble products.

Physical properties Gypsum is moderately water-soluble (~2.0–2.5 g/l at 25 °C) citation and, in contrast to most other salts, it exhibits retrograde solubility, becoming less soluble at higher temperatures.
