Solution thermodynamics for o-alkoxyphenols in water and in water-alcohol systems

Solubilities have been measured for o-alkoxyphenols in water-alcohol mixtures. The alcohols ranged from the co-solvent methanol to the co-solute 1-octanol and each alcohol was present at the saturating concentration of 1-octanol in water viz. 0.00316 M. Plots of solubility vs. carbon number of the a...

Description
Summary:Solubilities have been measured for o-alkoxyphenols in water-alcohol mixtures. The alcohols ranged from the co-solvent methanol to the co-solute 1-octanol and each alcohol was present at the saturating concentration of 1-octanol in water viz. 0.00316 M. Plots of solubility vs. carbon number of the alcohols show discontinuities. Enthalpies of solution in these same solvent systems have also been measured. The data are compared with those for m-alkoxyphenols. The results and the comparison are discussed in terms of H-bonding, solvent-solute interactions and in terms of solute volumes.
