Solvents: Properties and Applications

This lecture covers the properties and applications of solvents, including their role in heterogeneous mixtures, auto-ignition, polarity, precipitation, crystallization, density, viscosity, miscibility, and solubility. It also discusses the state of matter, vapor pressure, inflammation, critical points, phase diagrams, and supercritical fluids. The lecture delves into solvent polarity, solubility products, solute dissolution, and saturation. Additionally, it explores the molecular arrangement of water, viscosity measurements, and the behavior of solvents in different systems. The presentation concludes with a focus on heterogeneous mixtures, vapors, evaporation, and the flammability of solvents.
