Increasing water's solubility properties
« on: May 16, 2013, 12:05:15 AM »
Is there anything that can be added to water to increase its solubility properties... Not including changing heat or temperature.. I'm looking for a safe non volatile polar solvent, with greater a greater solvent properties than plain water if only by a small amount

I'm sorry for not specifying, polar substances only.

You're going to have to specify your solutes as well. There are going to be very few cases where a polar substance dissolves better in a polar liquid other than water.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
