Potential solution: add an optional bool to the Amounts field that lets solutes have amounts defined as saturated.
More flexibly, we might want to address the cases where things are added in "catalytic amounts" or "in excess" where they are not actually measured. Or a titrated amount.
An enum field inside of the amount oneof kind
containing UNSPECIFIED
, CUSTOM
, SATURATED
, CATALYTIC
, TITRATED
Naming is hard. unmeasured? qualitative? inexact ? indefinite ? imprecise ? Thinking out loud so we can return to this comment.
Saturated aqueous salt solutions are very commonly reported as just that. Rather than inferring the concentration based on room temperature solubility, we should consider whether there is a better way to handle this definition.
