  2. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In chemistry, volatility is a material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes. At a given temperature and pressure , a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a vapour , while a substance with low volatility is more likely to be a liquid or solid .

  3. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    Total dissolved solids include both volatile and non-volatile solids. Volatile solids are ones that can easily go from a solid to a gaseous state. Non-volatile solids must be heated to a high temperature, typically 550 °C, in order to achieve this state change. Examples of non-volatile substances include salts and sugars. [3]

  4. Thin-layer chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-layer_chromatography

    Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique that separates components in non-volatile mixtures. [1] It is performed on a TLC plate made up of a non-reactive solid coated with a thin layer of adsorbent material. [2] This is called the stationary phase. [2]

  5. Freezing-point depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression

    Freezing-point depression is a drop in the maximum temperature at which a substance freezes, caused when a smaller amount of another, non-volatile substance is added. Examples include adding salt into water (used in ice cream makers and for de-icing roads), alcohol in water, ethylene or propylene glycol in water (used in antifreeze in cars ...

  6. List of purification methods in chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_purification...

    Evaporation removes volatile liquids from non-volatile solutes, which cannot be done through filtration due to the small size of the substances. Liquid–liquid extraction removes an impurity or recovers a desired product by dissolving the crude material in a solvent in which other components of the feed material are soluble.

  7. Steam distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_distillation

    Steam distillation is a separation process that consists of distilling water together with other volatile and non-volatile components. The steam from the boiling water carries the vapor of the volatiles to a condenser; both are cooled and return to the liquid or solid state, while the non-volatile residues remain behind in the boiling container.

  8. Volatility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility

    Volatility (chemistry), a measuring tendency of a substance or liquid to vaporize easily Volatile organic compounds, organic or carbon compounds that can evaporate at normal temperature and pressure Volatile anaesthetics, a class of anaesthetics which evaporate or vaporize easily

  9. Colligative properties - Wikipedia

    For example, the strong electrolyte MgCl 2 dissociates into one Mg 2+ ion and two Cl − ions, so that if ionization is complete, i = 3 and =, where is calculated with moles of solute i times initial moles and moles of solvent same as initial moles of solvent before dissociation.
