çözünemez

Çözünemez is a Turkish adjective meaning "insoluble". It describes a substance that cannot be dissolved in a particular solvent. This is a fundamental concept in chemistry and is crucial for understanding chemical reactions, separations, and material properties.

The solubility of a substance depends on the nature of both the solute (the substance being dissolved) and the solvent (the substance doing the dissolving). Generally, "like dissolves like," meaning polar solutes tend to dissolve in polar solvents (like water), and nonpolar solutes tend to dissolve in nonpolar solvents (like oil). If these properties do not match, the solute may be insoluble or only sparingly soluble.

Examples of insoluble substances include many salts in water, such as silver chloride (AgCl), which precipitates out of solution. Oils are generally insoluble in water. In practical applications, insolubility is utilized in filtration to separate solid particles from liquids, in the formulation of certain medications to control their release, and in the development of materials like waterproof coatings. The degree of insolubility can vary, and sometimes substances are described as "practically insoluble" if only a very small amount dissolves.
