Kokonaisliukoisten

Kokonaisliukoisten is a Finnish term that appears in scientific Finnish literature to describe a group of substances that are completely soluble in a given solvent. The word combines kokonais-, meaning entirely or completely, with liukoisten, the genitive plural of liukoinen, an adjective used to denote solubility. The form kokonaisliukoisten is typically used as a noun phrase referring to “the completely soluble substances” within a list, category, or comparative discussion.

Usage and context

The term is mainly found in chemistry, pharmacology, and materials science texts. It is not a common everyday expression, and its precise usage can vary by author or study. In some texts, authors may opt for alternatives such as täysliukenevat or kokonaisliukenevat ainesosat to convey the same idea more transparently to a broader audience. The concept is often used when classifying substances by their solubility characteristics in a particular solvent or under specific conditions, such as temperature or pH.

Examples

A typical sentence might read: Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin kokonaisliukoisten yhdisteiden esiintymistä eri liuottimissa. In English: The study examined the occurrence of completely soluble compounds in various solvents.
