Aqueous Solubility Analysis of Polycyclic aromatics and Halobenzenes: Influence of Solubility Parameter and Molar Volume

Abstract

The aqueous solubility data of non-electrolytes, polycyclic
aromatic compounds and halobenzenes are analysed in terms of
different physico-chemical properties of the solutes. Solubility
parameter and molar volume are estimated using Fedors fragmental
constants, while melting point is readily available in the literature.
These properties are implicated in the prediction of aqueous
solubility and regression equations were obtained. Though the
approach is empirical, it pelmits the estimation of aqueous solubility
of untested solutes.
