chemical solution #333

Closed obi-bot closed 1 year ago

obi-bot commented 14 years ago

chemical solution def reads "A material entity that is made up of at least 2 scattered molecular aggregates, one playing the role of solvent and the other one playing the role of solute." I think that would cover more than what we intend (i.e. buffers): blood serum may fall under there (http://tinyurl.com/yemccw7, measuring proteins in blood serum)

I'm having some worries about this - particularly the use of roles, which are tied to processes. Current definition of solute role: solute role is a role played by a chemical entity which is dissolved by another chemical entity (the solvent) when creating a solution

By this definition, chemical solution should be the output of a process which realizes the solute role that inheres in one scattered aggregate part.

(sim. solvent)
