Q

predicting solubility is important:

A
  • in “purifying or isolating” a compound
  • when “extracting a molecule” from its natural source
  • when “designing a pharmaceutical product” which needs to be soluble enough to elicit its desired effect
  • when performing “synthesis reactions” especially in the formulation of organic drugs
  • the “partitioning of drug molecules” within the body between the blood and various tissues are governed by the solubility concept

Q

depends on the “polarities of the
individual bonds” and the “shape of the molecule”
