If we're looking for life as we don't know it, the best solvent out there may be concentrated sulfuric acid — the stuff that's floating around in the clouds of Venus.

Solvents are known to play key roles in solution-phase catalytic chemistry. For example, a good solvent can boost reaction rates by increasing the solubility and mass transfer of reagents relative ...

Vapour degreasing solvents are typically chosen for their excellent solvency properties. They have the ability to dissolve and disperse a wide range of contaminants, including dirt, oil, grease, wax, ...

Water in general is a very good solvent and is able to dissolve lots of different compounds. This is because it can interact with a lot of different molecules.

Typical good solvents for hydrocarbon-capped NCs are nonpolar liquids (for example hexane, toluene, chloroform) whereas non-solvents are polar (for example ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile).

A good solvent is one in which a polymer will dissolve well. Let's take water and methanol: both are good solvents, if used separately, for a polymer such as poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA).

Brian: The good news is the same company makes a solvent that’ll get us unstuck. The bad news is it takes two weeks for delivery.

Q. Why is water a good solvent? Ans. The property of water being a very good solvent is mainly related to its polarity. The water molecule has an asymmetrical distribution of charge over oxygen ...
