Çözeltide

Çözeltide is a Turkish term used to describe the state of being dissolved or present within a solution. It is the locative form of the noun çözelti (solution) and is formed by adding the locative suffix -de, with appropriate vowel harmony to yield çözelti + de → çözelti de? The correct standard form is çözeltiyle? In common usage, the word appears as çözeltje? Actually, the standard locative form is çözeltide, meaning in the solution. The term is predominantly found in scientific and technical Turkish.

In chemistry and related sciences, çözelti (solution) refers to a homogeneous mixture of solute and solvent. Çözeltide is used to specify that a substance or species resides in the solvent phase rather than in the solid or gas phase. For example, çözelti içindeki iyonlar elektriksel iletkenliği etkiler (ions in the solution affect electrical conductivity). Another common usage is çözelti içerisindeki konsantrasyon (the concentration in the solution). The form çözelti de içinde, çözelti içindeki and çözeltiyle ilişkili gibi phrases appear in technical texts to describe conditions, measurements, and processes that occur within the solution.

Related terms include çözelti (solution), çözücü (solvent), çözünen (solute), and çözüntü (dissolution). Çözeltide is primarily encountered in formal or academic Turkish rather than everyday language and serves to precisely indicate location or state within the liquid medium.
