Abstract
The application of temperature is frequently employed to enhance analytical extractions, especially with solid samples or volatile analytes. Dating back to the earliest development of modern chemical analysis, such as with Soxhlet extraction, using temperature to enhance analytical extractions continues today with more recently developed techniques. Too often, chemists rely on the rule of thumb from chemical kinetics, which states that reaction rates double for every 10 degree temperature change. However, extractions are not reactions. Temperature impacts solubility, diffusion, surface tension, and other properties of the sample, potentially leading to solute decomposition. This month, we explore the role of temperature in analytical extractions.
