solvation

Copper foil The ions (and some amount of solvent- the solvation sheath!) travel from cathode <-> anode.

The energy generated is more than enough to overcome the energy released during solvation.

To offer my own anecdote: In pure/theoretical Chemistry you conveniently ignore in-situ solvation effects to think about mechanisms of the organic reaction.

If you added tables for common cations, polyatomic anions, acids and solvation rules it would cover most of my gen chem memory items.

Don't dare ask how they treated water/solvation.

Because homeopathy's claims and method of action can be dismissed a priori, due to the fact that they don't follow the laws of nature or the chemical principles of solvation.

Sure, but you can search for local optima, and then there’s all the environment specific factors, solvation, finite temperature, that sort of thing.

Anyone who has spent any time in a chem/biochem lab knows all too well the strange and weird world of solvation and impurity and its effects on reactions, not to mention enzyme chemistry is insanely sensitive.

Now take those mechanically broken down food items and then pass them through a base bath and an acid bath and you'll unlock x% of compounds ready for metabolysis where x will differ wildly thanks also to the weird and wonderful world of solvation chemistry.

Thus things like folding kinetics of transition states and intermediates, remain poorly understood through such statistical models, because they do not explicitly incorporate physical laws governing the protein system, such as electrostatic interactions, solvation effects, or entropy-driven conformational changes.

Solvation is part of it (particularly for soaps and mineral spirits), but the main factors are oxidation and, as you stated, acid/pH.
