Abstract
The dissolution behavior of 6-methylcoumarin in eleven mono-solvents, namely methanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate and isopropyl acetate, was investigated with the static equilibrium method. The studied temperature ranged from 278.15 to 318.15 K at p = 100 kPa. The results demonstrated that the solubility of 6-methylcoumarin increased with the temperature increasing. Among the selected solvents, methyl acetate exhibited the highest solubility for 6-methylcoumarin, whereas 2-propanol had the lowest. At the same time, the experimental solubility data were fitted with van’t Hoff, λh, Wilson, and NRTL models, with the NRTL model providing the most accurate predicted results. Additionally, the mixing thermodynamics were calculated by using the NRTL model, which revealed that the mixing process is spontaneous, endothermic and entropy-driven. Finally, the dissolution mechanism of 6-methylcoumarin in the selected solvents was preliminarily analyzed from the perspectives of the molecular structural characteristics of the solute, the solute–solvent intermolecular interactions, and the physicochemical properties of the solvent.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Solution Chemistry offers a forum for research on the physical chemistry of liquid solutions in such fields as physical chemistry, chemical physics, molecular biology, statistical mechanics, biochemistry, and biophysics. The emphasis is on papers in which the solvent plays a dominant rather than incidental role. Featured topics include experimental investigations of the dielectric, spectroscopic, thermodynamic, transport, or relaxation properties of both electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in liquid solutions.
