A solvent system is a mixture of solvents used to dissolve solutes and facilitate chemical reactions or extractions, optimizing solubility and reaction conditions. It is crucial in processes like chromatography, where the choice of solvents can significantly affect the separation and analysis of compounds.

Chemical reactions involve the transformation of substances through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the conversion of reactants into products. These reactions are governed by the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, which dictate the feasibility and rate of these transformations.

Reaction conditions refer to the specific parameters and environment under which a chemical reaction is carried out, significantly influencing the reaction rate, yield, and selectivity. These conditions include temperature, pressure, concentration, catalysts, and solvent, each playing a crucial role in determining the pathway and efficiency of the reaction.

Chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture into its individual components, based on the differential partitioning between the mobile and stationary phases. It is widely used in analytical chemistry for purifying substances and analyzing complex mixtures, such as in pharmaceuticals and environmental testing.
