Solubility of Benzoin in Six Monosolvents and in Some Binary Solvent Mixtures at Various Temperatures

Abstract

The solubility of benzoin in monosolvents (acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol) and binary solvent mixtures (ethyl acetate + methanol, ethyl acetate + ethanol) was measured using UV–vis spectroscopy at temperatures ranging from 283.15 K to 323.15 K. It can be seen from the data that the solubility of benzoin increases expectedly as temperature increases in a given solvent or solvent mixture, the solubility in acetone is maximum among six monosolvents which could be well explained by the existence of strong H-bonds, rather than the “like dissolves like” rule. In binary solvent mixtures, the solubility reaches maximum when the mole fraction of methanol is 0.1 in ethyl acetate + methanol mixed solvents, while the maximum exhibits at 0.2 of mole fraction of ethanol in ethyl acetate + ethanol. The solubility parameter was interpreted as the cosolvency of benzoin solubility in binary solvent mixtures. The solubility data were correlated by modified Apelbalt equation, CNIBS/R-K equation, λh equation, Jouyban–Acree model, and Van’t–JA equation. Mixing thermodynamic properties were further calculated and discussed regarding their roles in dissolution and solubility.

Measurement and Correlation of the Solubility of Aspirin in Four Binary Solvent Mixtures from T = 283.15 to 323.15 K

“…In addition, the value of Δ mix S is positive, which follows the principle of entropy increasing, and the dissolution process of aspirin in mixed solvents is entropy-driven. Generally, these results are expected and consistent with general thermodynamics theory …”

Solubility Determination and Thermodynamic Correlation of 3-Amino-2-methylbenzoic Acid in 12 Monosolvents from 288.15 to 328.15 K

“…In alcohol solvents, except for isopropyl alcohol and 2-butanol, the solid–liquid equilibrium data of 3-amino-2-methylbenzoic acid at the whole temperature range is ranked as methanol > ethanol >1-propanol >1-butanol > isobutyl alcohol. It can be concluded that the solubility of 3-amino-2-methylbenzoic acid is positively related to the polarity of the solvent, following the “like dissolves like” rule. − …”

Solubility Measurement and Data Correlation of 5,5-Dimethylhydantoin in 12 Pure Solvents at Temperatures from 283.15 to 323.15 K

“…The λ h equation, which is first proposed by Buchowski et al, is frequently used to describe the relationship between solubility and temperature and is expressed as eq , where λ and h are the model parameters, T is the absolute temperature, and T m is the melting temperature of the solute. The λ value reflects the nonideality of the solution.…”
