DEPENDENCE OF CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ON WHICH SOLVENT IS USED

In chemistry, solvent effects are the influence of a solvent on chemical reactivity or molecular associations. Solvents can have an effect on solubility, stability and reaction rates and choosing the appropriate solvent allows for thermodynamic and kinetic control over a chemical reaction.
