Abraham General Solvation Parameter Model: Predictive Expressions for Solute Transfer into Isobutyl Acetate

Abstract

Mole fraction of solubilities are reported for the: o-acetoacetanisidide, anthracene, benzoin, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid, 3-chlorobenzoic acid, 3-chlorobenzoic acid, 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 3,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, 2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, diphenyl sulfone, 2-ethylanthraquinone, 2-methoxybenzoic acid, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, 2-methylbenzoic acid, 3-methylbenzoic acid, 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 2-naphthoxyacetic acid, 3-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-nitrobenzoic acid, salicylamide, thioxanthene-9-one, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid, and xanthene dissolved in isobutyl acetate at 298.15 K. The results of our experimental measurements, combined with the published literature data, were used to obtain Abraham model equations for isobutyl acetate. The mathematical correlations presented in the current study describe the observed molar solubility ratios of the solutes dissolved in isobutyl acetate to within an overall standard deviation of 0.12 log units or less.
