my lecturer said when A and B are completely miscible that means there's no solubility limit.
but when i read the textbook it mentions "solubility limit" right under the completely miscible case =. =
can someone clarify this for me? many thanks^^

In solid solution, completely miscible means A and B can be in any ratio.
Sometimes text books are wrong or out of date. Ask your teacher to make sure you fully understand.

Miscibility means how completely two or more liquids dissolve in each other. It is a qualitative rather than quantitative observation—miscible, partially miscible, not miscible. (To state exactly how miscible two liquids were, a scientist would use the larger concept of solubility, usually in a specific weight or volume per liter of solution.) Two completely miscible liquids will form a homogeneous (uniform) solution in any amount. Water and ethyl alcohol, for example, are completely miscible whether the solution is 1% water and 99% ethyl alcohol, 50% of both, or 1% ethyl alcohol and 99% water.
