Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

Ionic liquids have emerged as environmentally benign alternatives to conventional organic solvents in separation science due to their unique properties, including negligible vapour pressure, thermal ...

Science presenter Jon Chase demonstrates that a large piece of expanded polystyrene will dissolve in a very small volume of propanone. He defines the terms solute, solvent and solution. By dissolving ...

NMR spectra are typically collected in solutions made up of deuterated solvents due to the fact that a protonated solvent will yield large solvent peaks which may hide the solute’s spectral features.
