Hey!
Hydrotropy is defined as a solubilisation process whereby addition of a large amount of second solute results in an increase in the aqueous solubility of another solute and the chemicals which are used in hydrotropy are called hydrotropes. For example sodium benzoate, urea, sodium salicylate and ibuprofen sodium.

Answer:
Explanation:It is the process by which water-insoluble substances are made water-soluble by hydrotropic substances.
Biological Importance of Hydrotropy:
i. Substances so dissolved by hydrotropy are diffusible through membranes.
ii. In the body, hydrotropic substances are found not only in bile but also in intestinal juice, extracts of intestinal mucosa, blood plasma and places where such substances are particularly useful in helping absorption and transport of insoluble substances such as cholesterol and fatty acids formed by digestion.
iii. The hydrotropic substances have the power of decreasing surface tension, e.g., bile salts reduce the surface tension of fats and make emulsification for lipase action.
