Adjective
/bɛnˈziːn ˌɪnˈsɒljʊbəl/
The term "benzene-insoluble" refers to a substance that does not dissolve in benzene, a colorless, flammable liquid that is a byproduct of oil refining and is used as an industrial solvent. This term is often used in chemistry and material science contexts to describe the solubility properties of various compounds.
In terms of frequency of use, "benzene-insoluble" is a specialized term primarily found in scientific literature, particularly in organic chemistry and materials science. It is not commonly used in everyday conversation or general written English.
Benzene-insoluble materials are often examined in polymer studies.
Los materiales insolubles en benceno son a menudo examinados en estudios de polímeros.
The researchers found that the compound was benzene-insoluble, indicating its potential applications in certain industries.
Los investigadores descubrieron que el compuesto era insoluble en benceno, indicando sus posibles aplicaciones en ciertas industrias.
In the experiment, only substances that were benzene-insoluble were retained for further analysis.
En el experimento, solo se retuvieron las sustancias que eran insolubles en benceno para un análisis más profundo.
While "benzene-insoluble" is not commonly part of idiomatic expressions, the concept of solubility can be related to expressions in scientific contexts, although these may not be conventional idioms. Here are a few examples related to solubility:
Soluble in theory, insoluble in practice.
Soluble en teoría, insoluble en la práctica.
(Meaning: Something that seems feasible in theory but is difficult to implement.)
Like oil and water: benzene-insoluble and water-soluble substances do not mix easily.
Como el aceite y el agua: las sustancias insolubles en benceno y solubles en agua no se mezclan fácilmente.
(Meaning: Describes elements that are fundamentally incompatible.)
Finding a solution that is both effective and benzene-insoluble is a challenge for chemists.
Encontrar una solución que sea efectiva e insoluble en benceno es un desafío para los químicos.
(Meaning: Emphasizes the difficulty in achieving a specific desired outcome.)
The term "benzene" originates from the German word "Benzol," derived from "Benzin," meaning "benzin," which refers to volatile hydrocarbons derived from oil. The suffix "-insoluble" comes from the Latin "solubilis," meaning "able to be dissolved," with the prefix "in-" indicating negation.
