The solubility data of probenecid
in 12 different organic solvents including methanol, methyl acetate,
ethanol, ethyl acetate, n-propanol, n-butanol, butyl acetate, n-pentanol, isopropanol,
isobutanol, acetone, and methyl tert-butyl ether
was measured using the gravimetric method over the temperatures range
from 283.15 to 323.15 K at 0.1 MPa. The acetone had much higher solubility
to probenecid than to other solvents. Three models, including the
modified Apelblat equation, the van’t Hoff model, and the nonrandom
two-liquid (NRTL) model, were applied to correlate the measured solubility
data. The correlation results were evaluated by the average relative
deviation (ARD). All of the ARD values were less than 4.522%, which
indicated that the three models have a satisfactory correlation. The
thermodynamic properties of mixing of probenecid in 12 pure organic
solvents including the enthalpy of mixing, Gibbs energy of mixing,
and entropy of mixing were calculated by the NRTL model using the
correlation results.
