The
solubility of sodium thioglycolate in five pure solvents of
water, methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, n-propanol and four binary solvent mixtures (water + methanol, water
+ ethanol, water + isopropyl alcohol, water + n-propanol)
was determined within the temperature range from (293.15 to 333.15)
K by using the gravimetrical method under atmospheric pressure (p = 0.1 MPa). The solubility of sodium thioglycolate in
water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and n-propanol
increases with a rise of temperature, but the solubility decreases
in methanol with increasing temperature. Meanwhile, in the binary
solvent mixtures (water + methanol, water + ethanol, water + isopropyl
alcohol, water + n-propanol), the solubility of sodium
thioglycolate increases with increasing the mole fraction of water
and with temperature. The modified Apelblat equation and van’t
Hoff equation were applied to correlate the solubility of sodium thioglycolate
in the five pure solvents, while in the binary solvent mixtures, the
solubility was correlated by the modified Apelblat equation, CNIBS/R-K
model, and Jouyban–Acree model. It was shown that the correlated
results were in better agreement with the experimental data. Also,
the mixing thermodynamic properties for sodium thioglycolate in the
binary solvent mixtures were calculated.
