Solubility is in grams per liter (or pounds per gallon, or whatever units). One experimental method is to start with a carefully measured amount of water (your solvent in this case) and add carefully measured amounts of the unknown solid (the solute) and stir often until it doesn't dissolve anymore and some of it stays in chunks (or crystals or powder) either on the top or bottom of the water (which will also tell you whether its specific gravity is greater or less than water). The number of grams you used before it stopped dissolving is the numerator of the fraction, the measured volume of water you put it in is the denominator. The reduced fraction is its solubility.

If a solid dissolves in a solution, it is soluble. To find out if a solid is soluble, it needs to follow all of the solubility rules. If the solid doesn't follow one of the rules, then it is insoluble and will no dissolve in a solution.

put it in the water and look to see if it dissolves or not. If it does, then it is soluble. If not, then it isn't.

The solubility of a substance in water (or other solvent) is expressed in g/100 mL or in g/L, at a given temperature and pressure (for gases).

The solubility product of many solids in water is tabulated in a specified temperature and pressure. Then the solubility of a solid in a given condition can be deduced.

What happens if solids are soluble in water?

They will dissolve in the water and form a solution. The amount that will dissolve depends on the solubility of the solid and the temperature.
