The film explores the concept of solutions in chemistry, defining key terms such as solute and solvent. It illustrates how solute particles dissolve and disperse uniformly in a solvent, highlighting ...

Chromatography is used to separate the given components of a mixture that have differing solubilities in a solvent. It can be used to separate coloured substances in a mixture, like the inks in this ...

The solvent dichloromethane, or DCM, is commonly used to strip paint and cut grease. It's also what generations of chemistry ...

When no more solute can be dissolved in a solvent the solution is said to be saturated. Each different substance has a different solubility. This table shows the solubility of substances in water at ...

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 ...

Aquaglyceroporin Aqp10, a protein channel for water and glycerol, selectively permeates urea and boric acid due to its unique ...

In the gaseous phase, vibrational-, rotational- and translational-energy transfer between small molecules can be observed experimentally from time-dependent optical spectra. Populations in the ...

Solvatochromism, the phenomenon whereby dyes exhibit colour changes in response to variations in solvent polarity, has long been an invaluable tool in understanding intermolecular interactions. This ...

Scientists can now manufacture a synthetic version of the self-healing sticky substance that mussels use to anchor themselves to rocks in pounding ocean surf and surging tidal basins. Potential ...
