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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Oct. 16, 2024 — Researchers have developed photoswitching molecules that reversibly change properties not only with light, but also with heat. They showed that the molecules can be used as a ...

This important study shows that sound exposure enhances drug delivery to the cochlea via outer hair cell electromotility acting as a "fluid pump". Although others have proposed that electromotility ...
