SUMMARY

Superheating does not significantly affect solubility, as boiling points are variable and depend on pressure conditions. For instance, water can boil at 120°C in a pressure cooker, enhancing its ability to dissolve substances, despite the pressure opposing this effect. Conducting experiments on superheating at normal pressures is challenging, as the dissolved solids act as nucleation centers, complicating the achievement of superheating. This discussion focuses on solid materials rather than liquid-liquid or gas dissolution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of boiling point concepts and pressure effects
  • Basic knowledge of solubility principles in chemistry
  • Familiarity with superheating phenomena
  • Experience with experimental chemistry techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of pressure on boiling points in different solvents
  • Explore the concept of nucleation in solubility and boiling processes
  • Investigate superheating techniques in laboratory settings
  • Learn about the solubility of various solid materials in superheated liquids
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and researchers interested in the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility and phase changes in solvents.

During my summer chemistry course yesterday, I asked my teacher this question and she said she didn't know.

Super-heating does not have a dramatic effect on solubility, as you could remember that boiling point are not fixed. Water boils at 100 C at 1 atm yet it easily goes to 120 in a household pressure cooker, and while doing so it is better at dissolving stuff although the added pressure goes against the effect.

For super-heating at normal pressures... this is not an easy experiment as the dissolving matter will be a nucleation center for solvent boiling and super-heating will be hard to achieve.

Btw in all the above, I assumed solid materials and not liquid-liquid or gas dissolution.
 

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
