Salting Coefficients of 2-, 3-, and 4-Methylbenzoic Acids

The Setschenow parameter and thermodynamic parameters of transfer of 2-, 3-, and 4-methylbenzoic acids from water to salt solutions have been reported. The data have been rationalized by considering the structure breaking effects of the ions of the salts, the localized hydrolysis model, and the internal pressure theory.
