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 ...

A trip to the seaside is always fun - even in winter! But it does get a bit nippy and we need to warm up. A mug of hot chocolate! That'll do the trick and it'll help us understand solutions. Solutions ...

Solution is an important chapter of CBSE Class 12 Physical Chemistry. Concepts used in this chapters are further used in other chapters of CBSE Class 12 Chemistry. In this article, we have provided ...

London dispersion forces have been cited as an important factor in protein folding, drug–receptor interactions, and catalyst selectivities. However, careful analysis of a model system finds that the ...

Understanding the properties of aqueous solutions is fundamental to a range of scientific disciplines, from biochemistry to industrial processing. This field focuses on quantifying both macroscopic ...

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 ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have found new ways to directly solution process carbon nanotubes using just a cocktail of common solvents. Carbon nanotubes, cylinders made of one or more layers ...

Solubility, polymorphism, crystallinity, and crystal habit of acetaminophen and racemic (+/-)-ibuprofen were determined by initial screening of 23 solvents for scale-up. Solubility curves were ...
