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 ...

Choosing a solvent for a particular reaction is often a matter of personal preference or the result of limited screening. Now, a computational method allows identification of a solvent that will ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A re-examination based upon published data for the standard free energy of solution of tetramethylstannane in thirty-two pure solvents was undertaken in order to account for the inadequacy of scaled ...
