Example
Solvents are chosen for chemical extractions based on the desired compound's known solubility profile.
Salt has high solubility in water and readily dissolves into ionic components when added to the solvent.
The solubility equilibrium of a sparingly soluble salt occurs when the rate of dissolution equals the rate of precipitation.
Researchers hope further studies into nucleation will increase our understanding and solubility of problems in materials science.
The experiment aimed to saturate the solution with the organic compound to test its solubility under different conditions.
