Kylläisistä

Kylläisistä refers to the concept of saturation in various scientific and technical contexts, particularly in chemistry and physics. In chemistry, it describes a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure. If more solute is added to a saturated solution, it will not dissolve and will typically precipitate out or remain as a solid. This state is reached when the rate of dissolution of the solute equals the rate of precipitation.

The term can also be applied to other physical phenomena. For example, in the context of gases, a gas is considered saturated with a vapor when it can hold no more of that vapor at a given temperature and pressure. This is often discussed in relation to humidity, where air is saturated with water vapor at 100% relative humidity. Beyond these specific examples, "kylläisistä" broadly signifies a state of being full, unable to absorb or accommodate more of a particular substance or element under the prevailing conditions. This principle is fundamental to understanding solubility, phase transitions, and equilibrium in many scientific disciplines.
