For somewhat the same reason, most oxygen-containing organic compounds of moderate molecular mass will dissolve in concentrated sulfuric acid.

The new compound, methyl tertiary butyl-ether, has dissolved large gallstones within 17 hours, the researchers say.

Biogen said that its compound dissolves blood clots like the original, but that it can stay in a patient's blood system longer.

Some ionic compounds (salts) dissolve in water, which arises because of the attraction between positive and negative charges (see: solvation).

The active compound does not dissolve well in water.

Both compounds dissolve in water upon the addition of base.

The compound dissolves in organic solvents.

However neither compound dissolved.

These compounds dissolve in polar solvents to give ionic solutions that contain highly solvated anions and cations.

The compound dissolves well in water and readily be taken up by organisms.
