  "term": "Sechenov equation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An empirical equation that describes the salting-out effect, which is the decrease in the solubility of a non-electrolyte in water upon the addition of a salt. It relates the solubility of the non-electrolyte to the concentration of the salt. The equation is typically expressed as log(S₀/S) = kC, where S₀ and S are solubilities in pure water and salt solution, respectively, k is the Sechenov constant, and C is the salt concentration.",
