The reason that carotenes move more rapidly with the solvent than the xanthrophylls is likely due to polarity. Xanthrophylls are fairly nonpolar, but carotenes are even more nonpolar.

When does a solute dissolves more rapidly?

A solute generally dissolves more rapidly the warmer the solvent. Also, any mixing or moving of the solute, and also if the solute is broken up (increases surface area) both speed up dissolving.


What pigments might you find in a carrot plant?

Practically any plant contains many kinds of pigments, and so do carrots. The main pigments you will find in the leaves, and they include some kinds of chlorophyll, some kinds of carotenes and some kinds of xanthophylls (which are largely yellow and orange pigments that are not important in nutrition). If you are talking about the main colours found in carrot roots, then probably the name you want to know is carotenes. There are some other pigments as well, depending on the kind of carrot and the conditions under which it grew, for example you might find some carrots are practically purple or have a purple patch around the top where the leaves come out. However, the main orange colour of the carrot root is a mix of carotenes. Of these, probably the most important from the point of view of one's diet is the one called beta carotene; your body breaks it down into vitamin A. Other carotenes either do not produce proper vitamin A, or produce half and half vitamin A and other compounds of little nutritional importance. Although leaves look green rather than orange, they do also contain carotenes. It is just that the chlorophylls in the leaves are more intensely coloured and mask the orange colour. Carotenes do affect leaf colour however; pure chlorophylls tend to have a blueish green colour and the orange of the carotenes give an overall leaf-green shade. In fact, carotenes are commercially important both for food colouring and for producing vitamins, and most of the carotenes are extracted from leaves because they are the cheapest.


Why grinding help a solution dissolve rapidly?

Grinding increases the surface area of the solute particles, which allows for more contact with the solvent. This increased surface area facilitates faster dissolution since more solute particles can come into contact with the solvent, leading to a quicker saturation and dissolution process.


Raising the temperature of a solvent causes solvent-solvent collisions to become?

Raising the temperature of a solvent causes solvent-solvent collisions to become more frequent and energetic. This can result in increased solubility of solutes and faster dissolution rates.


Is it rapidly or more rapidly?

"More rapidly" indicates a greater degree of speed compared to "rapidly." Use "more rapidly" when describing an action that is quicker or accelerating at a faster pace.


What is comparative for rapidly?

What is the comparative to rapidly?

What increases is more solute dissolves in the solvent?

As more solute dissolves in a solvent, the solubility of the solute in the solvent increases. This leads to an increase in the concentration of the solution. The solution becomes more concentrated as more solute particles are dispersed in the solvent.


How does temperature affect gas solutes?

As temperature increases, the solubility of gases in liquids generally decreases because the molecules move more rapidly and create less opportunity for bonding with the solvent molecules. Conversely, lowering the temperature can increase gas solubility as molecules have less kinetic energy and can form more stable bonds with the solvent.


Why a vacuum filtration is avoided when crystals are isolated from a very volatile solvent?

Vacuum filtration is avoided when isolating crystals from a very volatile solvent because the reduced pressure can cause the solvent to evaporate rapidly, potentially leading to loss of the desired crystals. Instead, techniques such as simple gravity filtration or evaporation are more commonly used to isolate crystals from volatile solvents.
