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 ...

A SOLUTION of a non-diffusible solute will in general contain the components of a mixed solvent in proportions different from those of an equilibrium, diffusate, owing to non-ideal interactions ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Both molarity and molality are measures of a chemical solution’s concentration. The primary difference between the two comes down to mass versus volume. Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a ...

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 ...
