Undissolved
Can't Be Mixed

What is the difference between concentration and solubility?
Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. The concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute that is dissolved.
What is A common solvent?
A solvent refers to a liquid that dissolves a solute, The most common solvent is water. Other common solvents include: acetone, methanol and benzene.
Compound words - what does dryclean mean?
It refers to cleaning without water. (solvent is used instead)
Why does dissolving happen?
Dissolving takes place when you are trying to make a solution out a mechanical mixture by adding a solute (something that gets dissolved) and a solvent (something that does the dissolving) together and when there is enough solvent to dissolve the all of the solute. When all of the solute is dissolved it becomes a solution which usually appears to be clear.
Solvent for recrystallization?
A good solvent for recrystallization depends entirely on the polarity of the solid you're trying to purify. For example sodium chloride readily dissolves in water whereas naphthalene dissolves only in nonpolar solvents like hexane. To select a good solvent first consider the polarity of the compound of interest and pick a solvent that has the potential to dissolve it. Next suspend the solid in that solvent. You must pick another solvent if the solid completely dissolves in the selected solvent. Heat the mixture while stirring. If you reach the boiling point of the solvent and the compound hasn't dissolved, you must find a different solvent or add more of the solvent you are currently using. If your solid completely dissolves without too much of the chosen solvent, you have yourself a good solvent for recrystallization. To continue with the recrystallization simply allow the solvent to cool and your solid should precipitate out in the form of crystals. Put it in an ice bath to assist with the precipitation. The latter technique can lead to small crystals or powder. The best way to remedy this is to do a slow recrystallization. To do this you must use two solvents that will evaporate over a long period of time. One solvent must be very volatile and must be able to easily dissolve your compound at room temp. The other must be less volatile and your compound must be insoluble in this solvent. Note that this solvent must have the potential for dissolving the impurities in your compound. To perform the recrystallization, dissolve your compound in the "good" solvent and then add about the same amount of the "bad" solvent. Over a period of time, the "good" solvent should evaporate leaving your crystallized product in the "bad" solvent without any impurities.
What is the difference between concentration and solubility?
Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. The concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute that is dissolved.
What is the difference between concentrated solution and solubility?
Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. The concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute that is dissolved.
What is the difference between a solvent and concentration?
Solvent refers to a substance that will dissolve another substance. Concentration, in chemistry, refers to the amount (measure) of a substance that is mixed with another substance. It is most commonly used to describe the amount of a substance (solute) dissolved in another substance (solvent).
What do you mean by concenteration in chemistry?
It refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. Say, for example, you were making a salt water solution. The higher the amount of salt dissolved in the water, the higher the concentration of the solution.
IS SOIL A SOLUTE?
No, soil is not a solution. It is a mixture.
What is The ability of a solvent to dissolve a given solute?
Dissolving power refers to the ability of a solvent to dissolve a certain amount of a solute.Once no more solute can be dissolved in a solvent it is said to be reached to its saturation point. By changing temperature and pressure of a solution that has reached its saturation point, some more solute can be dissolved and thereby make a supersaturated solution.
Is water a solution then what is its characteristics?
Water isn't a solution it's a liquid, a soltion refers to soulte dissolved in a solvent E.G. NaCl(aq) this is a soltion of sodium chloride in water, water is the solvent NaCl is the solute. This is an ionic example. E.G. 2 Phosphorus in carbon disulphide - P4 is the solute, CS2 is the solvent - this is a covalent example
What is solvent wax?
Solvent wax refers to solvents that remove wax. The solvent is able to dissolve, or get rid of, the wax.
Refers to the amount of salt dissolved in the ocean?
Salinity
What refers to the amount of salt dissolved in the ocean?

What is A common solvent?
A solvent refers to a liquid that dissolves a solute, The most common solvent is water. Other common solvents include: acetone, methanol and benzene.
What is solution solubility and dissolving?
When we mix substances together they are either miscible or immiscible. However, "soluble" refers to dissolving of a solid substance which we call solute into a large amount of solvent which is another substance. Solute is what you call a substance when it can dissolve into a solvent.Miscible generally refers to two liquids. Soluble generally refers to a property of a solid in a liquid. Miscible is said when two liquids can be mixed with each other. Water and oil are not miscible but water and ethanol are miscible.Both systems entail a change in entropy and as such will cause the exchange of energy with the surroundings.
