poner en solución

English translation: solvating/dissolving/releasing X into solution

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:poner en solución
English translation:solvating/dissolving/releasing X into solution

Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / Hydrochemistry
Spanish term or phrase: poner en solución
This is the context:
"Si el aumento del pH disuelve el vidrio volcánico poniendo en solución al fluoruro y arsénico es de esperar que exista una fuerte correlación positiva entre pH y el aumento en la concentración de fluoruro y arsénico."
It's a paper on hydrochemistry and I'd like to find a way of expressing the concept that sounds natural in this specific field.
Thanks!

solvating/dissolving
Explanation:
"If increasing pH dissolves the volcanic glass, thus solvating / dissolving the fluoride and arsenic, then a strong positive correlation between pH and the concentrations of fluoride and arsenic [ions in solution] can be expected."

In my opinion "dissolving the fluoride and arsenic" sound the most natural to a scientist's ear.

solvation
Any stabilizing interaction of a solute (or solute moiety) and the solvent or a similar interaction of solvent with groups of an insoluble material (i.e. the ionic groups of an ion-exchange resin). Such interactions generally involve electrostatic forces and van der Waals forces, as well as chemically more specific effects such as hydrogen bond formation.

Solvation, commonly called dissolution, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute. As ions dissolve in a solvent they spread out and become surrounded by solvent molecules.

This might be a good alternative:
"If the increase in pH dissolves the volcanic glass, thereby releasing fluoride and arsenic ions into solution, then a strong positive correlation can be expected between the pH and the concentrations of fluoride and arsenic [ions in solution]."

placing... into a solution


Explanation:
the rise in pH disolves the volcanic glass placing the floride and arsenic into a solution

ex:
placed in a 10% Sucrose Solution
placed in a hypotonic solution
Placing Aluminum Foil into solution
cell is placed into a solution

disagree  Neil Ashby: "placing into a solution", obviously, would mean "take a lump of solid A and PHYSICALLY place it in solution B", it does not refer to the process known as "solvation". The volc. glass is already physically in the solution, inc. pH dissolves it further.//

  -> hmm, you mean like how the term "placing someone in danger" OBVIOUSLY only means actually physically lifting them into a dangerous position?

Thanks for the explanations, Neil!

disagree  TravellingTrans: Solvation is the process the process of surrounding solute particles with the solvent, so OBVIOUSLY that means PHYSICALLY adding a solvent to particles already in a solution, and that ACTUALLY is not what is going on here, and it's the glass dissolving
2 hrs
  -> Sorry I can't make any scientific sense of what you've written (except the part you've copied from Wikipedia). I've stated that the glass is being dissolved, as are the F and Ar ions (NOT particles!) - that's what dissolving the glass means!!!
