How does adding more solute affect dissolution rate?
How does adding more solute affect dissolution rate?
Adding more solute to a solution does not speed up the rate at which it dissolves. It might even make the process slower.
How are solutions prepared on an industrial scale?
How are solutions prepared on an industrial scale?
Large-scale solutions are often prepared in large tanks with special equipment to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
How are most pharmaceutical solutions made?
How are most pharmaceutical solutions made?
Most pharmaceutical solutions are made by simply combining the solute and the solvent together.
