Solution

The solubility coefficient is known from the ratio P/D. This is because the permeability coefficient (P) is the product of the diffusion coefficient (D) and the solubility coefficient (S). Therefore, to find the solubility coefficient (S), you would divide the permeability coefficient (P) by the diffusion coefficient (D). So, the correct answer is P/D.
