  2. 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 ...

  3. Supersaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersaturation

    By creating a supersaturated solution of a certain drug, it can be ingested in liquid form. The drug can be made driven into a supersaturated state through any normal mechanism and then prevented from precipitating out by adding precipitation inhibitors. [12] Drugs in this state are referred to as "supersaturating drug delivery services," or ...

  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. Precipitation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    This can be due to temperature changes, solvent evaporation, or by mixing solvents. Precipitation occurs more rapidly from a strongly supersaturated solution. The formation of a precipitate can be caused by a chemical reaction. When a barium chloride solution reacts with sulphuric acid, a white precipitate of barium sulphate is formed.

  6. Saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation

    Saturated steam; Dew point, which is a temperature that occurs when atmospheric relative humidity reaches 100% and the air is saturated with moisture; Saturated absorption, a set-up that enables the precise determination of the transition frequency of an atom between its ground state and an optically excited state

  7. 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 ...

  8. Membrane fluidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_fluidity

    More specifically, whether the fatty acids are saturated or unsaturated has an effect on membrane fluidity. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, and the maximum amount of hydrogen. The absence of double bonds decreases fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond, creating a "kink" in the chain.

  9. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (), or unsaturated, with double bonds or triple bonds ().If other elements (heteroatoms) are bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine, it is no longer a hydrocarbon, and therefore no longer an aliphatic compound.
