Solubility of 4-Nitrobenzoic Acid in Water & Salt Solutions

Solubilities of 4-nitrobenzoic acid at 25°, 35° and 42°C have been determined in water and in the presence of several concentrations of electrolytes. The free energies, enthalpies and entropies of transfer are also reported. The data have been rationalized by considering the structure-breaking effects of the ions of the salts and the requirement of the localized hydrolysis model. The theory of Symons is not satisfactory to rationalise the experimental data.

Thermodynamic Parameters of Transfer of 2-Nitrobenzoic Acid & 3-Nitrobenzoic Acid from Water to Aqueous Salt Solutions

The Setschenow parameters of solubility in salt solutions and the thermodynamic parameters (25·C) of transfer from aqueous solution to aqueous salt solutions for 2-nitrobenzoic acid and 3-nitrobenzoic acid have been reported. The data have been rationalized on the basis of the localized hydrolysis model and the structure breaking action of ions of the electrolytes.
