Industrial solvents are everywhere in the military. Whether you are degreasing machinery or stripping paint, you probably use a chemical that contains a solvent. Exposure to those chemicals, though, ...

Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

Recent progress in the study of excited states in polar solvents has elucidated the interplay between solvent polarity, molecular symmetry and charge-transfer phenomena. Evidence now shows that ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...
