  2. Supersaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersaturation

    A solution of a chemical compound in a liquid will become supersaturated when the temperature of the saturated solution is changed. In most cases solubility decreases with decreasing temperature; in such cases the excess of solute will rapidly separate from the solution as crystals or an amorphous powder.

  3. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    alkyne (unsaturated) vs alkane (saturated) arene (unsaturated) vs cycloalkane (saturated) For organic compounds containing heteroatoms (other than C and H), the list of unsaturated groups is long but some common types are: carbonyl, e.g. ketones, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids (unsaturated) vs alcohol or ether (saturated) nitrile ...

  4. Solubility equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_equilibrium

    The concentration of the solute in a saturated solution is known as the solubility. Units of solubility may be molar (mol dm −3) or expressed as mass per unit volume, such as μg mL −1. Solubility is temperature dependent. A solution containing a higher concentration of solute than the solubility is said to be supersaturated. A ...

  5. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_(chemistry)

    However, the point at which a solution can become saturated can change significantly with different environmental factors, such as temperature, pressure, and contamination. For some solute-solvent combinations, a supersaturated solution can be prepared by raising the solubility (for example by increasing the temperature) to dissolve more solute ...

  6. Superheated steam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam

    Superheated steam can therefore cool (lose internal energy) by some amount, resulting in a lowering of its temperature without changing state (i.e., condensing) from a gas to a mixture of saturated vapor and liquid. If unsaturated steam (a mixture which contains both water vapor and liquid water droplets) is heated at constant pressure, its ...

  7. Saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation

    Saturated and unsaturated compounds, a classification of compounds related to their ability to resist addition reactions Degree of unsaturation; Saturated fat or saturated fatty acid; Unsaturated fat or unsaturated fatty acid; Non-susceptibility of an organometallic compound to oxidative addition; Saturation of protein binding sites

  8. Physiology of decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiology_of_decompression

    If the solvent outside the bubble is saturated or unsaturated, the partial pressure will be less than in the bubble, and the surface tension will be increasing the internal pressure in direct proportion to surface curvature, providing a pressure gradient to increase diffusion out of the bubble, effectively "squeezing the gas out of the bubble ...

  9. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    The supersaturated solute mass the original nucleus may capture in a time unit is called the growth rate expressed in kg/(m 2 *h), and is a constant specific to the process. Growth rate is influenced by several physical factors, such as surface tension of solution, pressure , temperature , relative crystal velocity in the solution, Reynolds ...
