Solubility of 9-Fluorenone in Organic Nonelectrolyte Solvents: Comparison of Observed Versus Predicted Values Based Upon Mobile Order Theory

摘要

Experimental solubilities are reported at 25.0 ℃ for 9-fluorenone dissolved in 40 different organic nonelectrolyte solvents containing ether-, chloro-, hydroxy-, cyano and t-butyl-functional groups. Results of these measurements are used to test the applications and limitations of expressions derived from Mobile Order theory. For the 29 solvents for which predictions could be made, computations show that Mobile Order theory does provide fairly reasonable estimates of the saturation mole fraction solubilities. Average absolute deviation between predicted and observed values is 39.3%.
