A liquid with a solid dissolved in it is called a solution How might you get a solid back from a solution?
Boiling off the solvent to vapour if the solute is not too volatile.
What is solvent for benzil to develop TLC and Rf?
50:50 ethyl acetate and petroleum ether gives an rf value of about 0.6.You are supposed to dissolve the compound in any volatile solvent like methylene chloride or acetone.
Can ink evaporate?
Because the moisture in it evaporates, leaving only the pigments that were once dissolved in the water.I'm not sure, but I would guess that many inks are not water-based but rather use other solvent that are more volatile, such as organic solvents. Nonetheless, in both cases, ink dries because the solvent evaporates, but a more volatile solvent will evaporate faster.
What are Volatile Organic Solvents?
Liquid organic compounds are volatile because they change easily from liquid form to vapor. They will evaporate at temperatures of use and will cause oxygen in the air to be converted into smog-promoting ozone under favorable conditions.
What are the properties of hairspray?
Hairspray is a solution of long, chainlike molecules (called polymers) in a very volatile solvent. Spraying deposits a stiff layer of the polymer on your hair after the solvent evaporates. The solvent used was once a compound of carbon, fluorine, and chlorine (a chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC) It also makes holes in the ozone layer. Therefore slowly letting the suns rays kill us.
Why a vacuum filtration is avoided when crystals are isolated from a very volatile solvent?

Water is not a good solvent for re-crystallization because?
It is a non volatile solvent.
Volatile liquid used chiefly as a solvent?

Why is vapor pressure of solution of glucose in water lower than that of water?
vapour pressure of a solution containing non volatile solute if a non volatile solute is added to volatile solvent the vapour pressure of the solution is lower than the vapour pressure of pure component glucose is non volatile and water is volatile The surface of a pure solvent is populated only by solvent molecules therefore its easier for them to escape . but when glucose is present only solvent molecules volatile They alone can escape to build up the vapor pressure of the solution by Vijay Iyer
What is carbon tetra chloride?
A volatile solvent, it was used as a dry cleaning agent.
Why petrol is not usd as a dry cleaning solvent?
