In this study, the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid in N-methylformamide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, N-methylformanilide, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone, acetophenone, and ethylene glycol diethyl ether was measured using the laser dynamic method under 101.3 kPa at the temperature ranging from 293.65 to 344.35 K. The measured results showed that the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid increased with the increasing temperature. The solubility of 4methylbenzoic acid is greater than that of terephthalic acid in the same solvents. The modified Apelblat model and the modified nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model were utilized to correlate the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid in each solvent. The calculated solubility agreed satisfactorily with the measured results with 1.67/1.91% averaged relative deviation (ARD) for terephthalic acid and 0.62/0.69% for 4-methylbenzoic acid in the modified NRTL/Apelblat model, respectively. The result of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) analysis showed that the modified Apelblat model was better at correlating the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, acetophenone, N-methylformamide, acetophenone, and terephthalic acid in 1,3dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone; the modified NRTL model performs better in correlating the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid in Nmethylformanilide, N-methylformamide, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and terephthalic acid in 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and cyclohexanone N-methylformanilide.
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.
