to solvate
- verb
- /ˈsɒlveɪt/
- Specialized
- If one considers a solute molecule solvated with one solvent molecule to be the real system, the solute will be the model system, and the solute-solvent interaction is naturally included in the low-level calculation of the real system.
And we're, we started last time looking at the example of the dissociation of water into ions to give H plus and OH minus both of course solvated.

Examples
-
Once the complex has formed, its reaction followed by separation of the solvated products must be energetically favorable relative to simple separation of the complex back into the initial reactants.

Etymology
Solvate comes from the root solv- meaning 'loosen', like in solve and solution. To solvate is to have a solvent's molecules join and 'surround' a substance, so to solvate is to put something into solution or have the solvent hold it.
