Water is a polar solvent and when any ionic compound is dissolved in water the original structure of that compound is broken and separate ions are formed. Hence, the solubility of an ionic compound in water depends upon its hydration energy and lattice energy. Hydration energy refers to the en...
a6) Xylene is the author's preferred non-polar solvent for extracting the freebase pseudoephedrine as it is unlikely to contain any significant amount of water straight from the can, or even after having been used. It is considered to be the solvent of choice for dry matrix formulations. Tolu...
Why is water less dense as a solid? What makes water such an attractive recrystallizing solvent, especially when done on a large industrial scale? Why do non-polar substances not dissolve in water? Why is pure water neutral? Why should the recrystallization solvent have a fairly low boiling ...
An increase in Δε indicates that water is released from its bound state and moves to the bulk state. An increase in τ (red shift) suggests that the type of interaction between solvent and solute has a dipole-dipole character, whereas a decrease in τ (blue shift) means that the ...
Thus, we hypothesized that the water-soluble nsLTPs localized in the cell wall could facilitate the transport of the non-polar molecules through this aqueous cellular compartment. According to the model, the effect on VOC flux depends on several parameters including (i) the cell wall nsLTP ...
water/ hydrophobic effectsolvation propertiesThe properties of water as a solvent are related to the structure of its liquid phase which in turn depends on the intermolecular potential. In order to explore this relationship we investigate the properties of liquids formed by a number of modified ...
The marine alga Nannochloropsis oceanica, an emerging model belonging to Heterokont, is considered as a promising light-driven eukaryotic chassis for transforming carbon dioxide to various compounds including carotenoids. Nevertheless, the carotenogenic
This method includes heating a composition of monotertiarybutyl hydroquinone and 2,5 ditertiarybutyl hydroquinone in a solvent mixture of a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent. During this step, the non-polar solvent is substantially stripped-off and at least part of the 2,5 ditertiarybutyl...
Since we are interested in probing interaction potentials up to very high-salt concentrations (i.e., from 0 to 3 M NaCl), it is important that the solvent and ion model parameters employed are well-fitted to reproduce adequately ion solubilities in water at 298 K (i.e., the absence...
Most of the ongoing projects aimed at the development of specific therapies and vaccines against COVID-19 use the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein as the main target. The binding of the spike protein with the ACE2 receptor (ACE2) of the host cell constitutes
