Notes:
A substance may have a precipitating action on other dissolved substances. The concentration at which this action becomes apparent depends not only on the chemical nature of the constituents, but also on their molecular weights. In a homologous series the precipitating power increases with increasing molecular weight until it attains a very high value, as in macromolecules. The incompatibility of high polymers, which is manifested at very great dilutions, is due to this increase in the precipitating power with an increase of the molecular weight.
