Publisher's Synopsis
This book explains the various factors, particularly the chemical nature of the molecules, which influence and control the solubility of an organic compound in a particular solvent, especially organic solvents, mixed organic solvents, water and aqueous solutions. The book also explains how to predict the solubility of an organic compound in the solvents mentioned above. Furthermore, the book similarly treats the partition (distribution) coefficient of an organic compound between two relatively immiscible solvents. Thus solubility behaviour comprises both solubility and partitioning between two solvents.;This book provides an understanding of concepts of solubility behaviour and practical means for predicting solubilities, partition coefficients and dissolution rates.
