What is the nature of solute?
the nature of interaction depends on whether they are lipophilic or hydrophilic. if both are hydorphilic ionic interaction, both lipophilic hydrogen bonding. ionic if lipophilic-hydrophilic.
What is the nature of solute-solvent interaction?
the nature of interaction depends on whether they are lipophilic or hydrophilic. if both are hydorphilic ionic interaction, both lipophilic hydrogen bonding. ionic if lipophilic-hydrophilic.
How do you use hydrophilic in a sentence?
Amphiphile is a term describing a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties
Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?

What is lipophilic?

What amino acids would be most likely found buried deep within the interior of a protein?
The lipophilic (or hydrophobic) ones are slightly more likely to hold interior positions than the hydrophilic ones.
Is an ionized drug more lipophilic or less lipophilic?
An unionized drug tends to be lipophilic (and hence, would be hydrophobic). Thus, an ionized drug on the other hand would be lipophobic (i.e. the opposite of lipophilic), lipid-hating.
What kinds of drug need to be lipophilic?
Drugs which are administered percutaneously, sublingually, or have to cross the blood brain barrier have to be lipophilic.
Why is Xenon lipophilic?
Yes. Xenon is lipophilic and exhibits affinity for cavities in macromolecular interiors. Xenon's lipophilic behavior has been shown from its partition with long-chain hydrocarbons and from its in vitro and in vivo partition with fatty tissue.
Are carbohydrates hydrophilic or hydrophobic and how do you test this?
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic
