Solvent Selection in Organic Chemistry Labs: What You Need to Know

Hi Friends, In this blog we will discuss about selection of solvents which are used in the chemical laboratory. Solvent is an integral part of a chemical reaction. Basicaly, the solvent used in the reaction for the solubility of reacatans and reagents. At solution phase, reactants and reagents interact well and leading to produce the final product. Therefore, when working in the organic chemistry lab, choosing the right solvent can make or break your experiments. It’s not just about picking something that dissolves your chemicals; it’s about making your reactions safer, more efficient, and easier to work with. Let’s break down the essentials of solvent selection in a simple and friendly way.
