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 ...

Solutions are simply one thing dissolved in another. You need a solute - that's the substance being dissolved - and a solvent - that's the substance that does the dissolving. Salt and sugar are ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

i.e. the temperature at which the solvent will be used to dissolve its target material(s). As operating temperature increases, the amount of solute (material) that a solvent can dissolve per unit ...

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 ...

although in the case of each solvent the polarisations of the solute are extrapolated to infinite dilution. The apparent dipole moment decreases as the dielectric constant of the solvent increases.

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 ...

Aerosol solvents aren’t the only way to clean a PCB, of course. Ultrasonic cleaners do a great job, and as [Steven] discovered, they’re generally safe for most components.
