He defines the terms solute, solvent and solution. By dissolving sugar into cups of tea, Jon demonstrates that solutions can become saturated. When one of the cups is then cooled down, some of the ...

Some of the gases in the air are elements: In salt solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. The particles of solute and solvent are completely and evenly mixed. Solutions are clear ...

Adding energy (heating) increases molecular motion. Increased molecular motion competes with the attraction between solute molecules and tends to make them come apart more easily. Increased molecular ...

A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution—or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that your ...

A new theory “demystifies” the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution – which is the solvent, not the solute.

It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, published in Matter, overturns traditional views of crystal formation.

This tool allows you interactively select solvents based upon the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the solvent's physical properties. Solvents which are close to each other in the map have ...

Hydrated electrons — free electrons in aqueous solution — have been well studied for the past half a century, not only because they pose many fundamental questions about solute–solvent ...

Continuous distillation results in a better control of the separation process. Solvent recovery systems are used extensively in recycling applications and to reduce manufacturing waste. A solvent ...

Let’s go through how to get the best results from part washing, how to make the solvent last as long as possible, and how to dispose of the eventual waste. All parts printed in resin emerge from ...
