A solvent is a substance that dissolves other substances, allowing them to mix and react together. It helps facilitate the chemical reaction by providing a medium for the reactants to interact and form products.

What is an insoluble product?

An insoluble product in a chemical reaction is a precipitate. It does not dissolve in the solvent in which the reaction was conducted.


What is the difference between solvation and solvolysis?

One major difference between the two processes is that solvolysis is a chemical reaction in which strong bonds are formed between. The solute & solvent. However, solvation although a chemical reaction can be regarded as a mere association or interaction of the solute and the solvent resulting in weak chemical bonding... Uju(Nig)


Is solubilty the same as a chemical Change?

Solubility is forming of chemical bonds between solute molecules and solvent molecules, hence a chemical reaction.


What acts a solvent for chemical reactions?

A solvent that all the components of the reaction will dissolve into, and that won't become part of the reaction itself, would be a good solvent for a chemical reaction. This means that different reactions will require different solvents.


When a solid dissolves does that mean a chemical reaction happened?

Not necessarily be a chemical reaction. Dissolution of solids are generally physical properties, because if the solvent is removed, then we can get the solid back (in most of the cases).


What is another solvent used instead of ethanol and why?

Water is a tremendous solvent. It is referred to as a universal solvent. Most chemical reactions involve a solution in water. This is because many chemical separate into positive and negative ions in water. When this occurs with more than chemical, it results in a chemical reaction where the ions recombine into other chemicals that weren't there before.


Is water a catalyst in chemical reactions?

No, water is not a catalyst in chemical reactions. It can act as a solvent or a medium for reactions to occur, but it does not speed up the reaction itself.


What is dissolution an example of?

Dissolution is an example of a chemical reaction. This is the process through which a solute and solvent mix to form a solution.


Is water and salt and silver nitrate physical or chemical change?

It is a Chemical reaction (change). The water is the dissolving agent,"Solvent" and the dissolved (salt) is a "solute". An aqueous solutin (from Latin, aqua, water) is in which water is the solvent. Type your answer here...


When paint dries is it considered an exothermic reaction?

No, the drying of paint is considered a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The drying involves the evaporation of the solvent in the paint, and it is not an exothermic reaction because it does not involve the release of heat.


Can salt and sugar separate?

Yes, but it will take a different solvent than water or a chemical reaction that causes either the sugar or salt to undergo a chemical change.


What kind reaction is used for electroplating?
