Question

Advantages and disadvantages of solid state reaction method

Answer 1

A solid state reaction, also called a dry media reaction or a solventless reaction, is a chemical reaction in which solvents are not used. In a normal reaction, the reacting agents, also called the reactants, are placed in a solvent before the reaction can take place. These reactants react to form a new substance. After the reaction is completed, scientists are able to remove the new product from the solvent. A solid-state reaction, however, allows the reactants to chemically react without the presence of a solvent.
