ʻO ka waiʻona isopropyl, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo isopropanol a i ʻole 2-propanol, he mea hoʻoheheʻe kūlohelohe maʻamau me kahi ʻano molekala o C3H8O. ʻO kona mau waiwai kemika a me kona ʻano kino he mau kumuhana hoihoi i waena o ka poʻe chemist a me ka poʻe kamaʻāina. ʻO kekahi nīnau koʻikoʻi inā hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka isopropyl alcohol i ka wai. No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kēia nīnau, pono mākou e komo i loko o ke ʻano o ke kemika a e ʻimi i ka pilina ma waena o kēia mau molekala ʻelua.

Hoʻoholo ʻia ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia o kekahi mea i loko o kahi mea hoʻoheheʻe i hāʻawi ʻia e nā pilina ma waena o ka solute a me nā molekole solvent. I ka hihia o ka waiʻona isopropyl a me ka wai, ʻo kēia mau pilina ka mea hoʻopaʻa hydrogen a me nā pūʻali van der Waals. He pūʻulu hydroxyl (-OH) ka Isopropyl alcohol i hiki ke hana i nā paʻa hydrogen me nā molekole wai, akā hoʻihoʻi kona huelo hydrocarbon i ka wai. ʻO ka solubility holoʻokoʻa o ka isopropyl alcohol i ka wai he hopena ia o ke kaulike ma waena o kēia mau ikaika ʻelua.

ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, pili ka solubility o ka waiʻona isopropyl i ka wai i ka mahana a me ka ʻike. Ma ka lumi wela a ma lalo, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka isopropyl alcohol i ka wai, me ka solubility ma kahi o 20% ma ka leo ma 20°C. Ke piʻi aʻe ka mahana, emi ka solubility. Ma nā haʻahaʻa kiʻekiʻe a me nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka māhele, e hopena i ʻelua papa ʻokoʻa - hoʻokahi waiwai i ka isopropyl alcohol a ʻo kekahi waiwai i ka wai.

Hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pūhui ʻē aʻe a i ʻole surfactant ke hoʻopili i ka solubility o ka isopropyl alcohol i ka wai. No ka laʻana, hiki i nā surfactants i pili i ka waiʻona isopropyl a i ʻole ka wai ke hoʻololi i ko lākou solubility. Loaʻa kēia waiwai i nā noi ma nā ʻano like ʻole e like me nā mea hoʻonaninani, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā agrochemical, kahi e hoʻohana mau ʻia ai nā surfactants e hoʻonui i ka solubility o nā mea hana.

I ka hopena, ʻo ka solubility o ka isopropyl alcohol i loko o ka wai he mea paʻakikī e pili ana i ke kaulike ma waena o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka hydrogen a me nā ikaika van der Waals. ʻOiai hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe iki ʻia ma ka lumi wela a ma lalo, ʻo nā mea e like me ka mahana, ka ʻike ʻana, a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pūhui ʻē aʻe hiki ke hoʻopilikia nui i kona solubility. He mea nui ka hoʻomaopopo piha ʻana i kēia mau pilina a me nā kūlana no ka hoʻohana pono ʻana i ka waiʻona isopropyl i nā noi like ʻole.
