The
solubility of oxygen in 21 pure organic solvents was measured
at 298.2 K and 101.33 kPa using the static method. The Hansen solubility
parameters (HSPs) of oxygen were determined from the measured solubilities
in the pure solvents. The HSPs of oxygen were δd =
6.7 MPa1/2, δp = 0.0 MPa1/2, and δh = 3.8 MPa1/2, where d, p, and
h stand for dispersion forces, dipole interaction, and hydrogen bonding,
respectively. A linear relationship between the log of the gas solubility
(log x
G) in pure solvents and the
difference between the HSP values of oxygen and the pure solvents
was obtained with a high correlation coefficient of 0.944. In addition,
the solubilities of oxygen in mixed solvents were measured, and these
were compared with the oxygen gas solubility calculated from the HSPs
of oxygen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
