Abstract:
The solubility and the critical relative humidity (H(cr)) of 14 drugs and inorganic salts were determined, the relationship between the H(cr) and the solubility was explored theoretically, and the H(cr) was calculated in the light of Raoult's law and Pitzer ion interaction model from their solubility. The results indicate that the H(cr) values calculated by Raoult's law in high humidity (H(cr)>80%) and by Pitzer ion interaction model in low humidity (H(cr)<80%) are comparable to the measured ones.

The equation that describes the equilibrium between solid calcium carbonate and its solvated ions is:
Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
