Term
Define dissolution
Definition
Process by which a solid solute with relatively low solubility enters into a solution in the presence of a solvent
Term
why is dissolution important
Definition
bc of what we learned in particle size lecture
Term
Describe history of dissolution
Definition
– First evidence : Noyes and Whitney 1897
