The Chemistry Lab, Solid State Versus Liquid State

The Chemistry Lab, Solid State Versus Liquid StateThe more confusing issue when it comes to a discussion about a chemical reaction is that some reactions are well defined and others are more ambiguous. There are two main types of chemistry that is used in the chemistry lab and these are solid state and liquid state chemistry. A solvent is what you are referring to when you use the terms solute and solvent when discussing solubility.With solid state chemistry, there are two types of solvents and one of them is called a reducing agent and the other is an oxidizing agent. The oxidizing agent reacts with the reducing agent by breaking it down and forming a new compound. In this case, they would be reducing agents.Now, with liquid state chemistry, there are two kinds of solvents, they are water soluble and oil soluble. In water soluble solvents, the elements are converted to their component parts and they can be broken down and hydrogenated. That is, they are hydrogenated and the two diff erent water solvents are methanol and ethanol. Ethanol is used in some things like in gasoline.Another difference is that oil soluble solvents are used in organic compounds as opposed to a mixture of them. This is used for e.g. ethanol in gasoline and methanol is a mixture of ethanol and methanol. Ethanol can be broken down to methanol can be broken down to ethanol.So there you have it and the two main types of solvents and the two types of liquids that are solvents. The difference between solvents and liquids are not so much the solvents breaking down the solids as they are just used to dissolve the solids so they can be studied and used for another reason, for example fuel. When it comes to fuels, the two things are the different kinds of compounds that are made from different types of chemicals and they are different types of fuels and they are not used interchangeably.All in all, this is a great clarification and it makes it so much easier to get the right information. The more you learn about chemistry, the better prepared you will be and the sooner you will be able to design and implement the proper chemical reactions.If you have any further questions or clarification, please feel free to comment below.
