Abstract:
Benzethonium chloride (BTC) has various applications in several industries. The solubility and solution thermodynamic properties of BTC were measured. The solubility of BTC in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, water, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetic acid, and dimethyl formamide neat solvents and methanol + water and ethanol + water binary solvents at 298.15-318.15 K over an atmospheric pressure was measured. The solubility data of BTC is positively related to the temperature in all selected solvents. The solubility data was fitted by the Apelblat model, λh model, Yaws model, Van't Hoff equation, CNIBS/R-K model, and modified Jouyban-Acree equation. The RMSD and ARD were chosen to evaluate the fitting of each model. The dissolution thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy of the solution, entropy of the solution, and Gibbs energy of the solution were calculated. The solubility data and dissolution thermodynamic parameters of BTC will provide significant guidance for purification, crystallization, and separation in various areas.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
