dissolving power

However, carbon tetrachloride is toxic, and its dissolving power is low.

The effect of temperature is less certain, as close to the critical point, increasing the temperature causes decreases in density, and hence dissolving power.

Carbon dioxide itself is non-polar, and has somewhat limited dissolving power, so cannot always be used as a solvent on its own, particularly for polar solutes.

Dimethoxymethane, also called methylal, is a colorless flammable liquid with a low boiling point, low viscosity and excellent dissolving power.

The area is cleaned of dirt and debris by the use of the force and dissolving power of stream of water as projected from a hose.

The density, and hence dissolving power, of supercritical fluids varies sharply with pressure, and hence the solubility in the lower density CO is much lower, and the material precipitates for collection.
