Question:
What is a molecular phenomenon where by adding a second solute results in an increase in aqueous solubility of poorly soluble solute?
What is a molecular phenomenon where by adding a second solute results in an increase in aqueous solubility of poorly soluble solute?
Show Hint
Hydrotropes improve drug solubility without needing emulsifiers or co-solvents—distinct from surfactants.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Hydrotrophy is a solubilization process where a large amount of second solute (hydrotrope) increases the aqueous solubility of another poorly soluble compound without forming micelles, unlike surfactants.
