Water solubility is an important factor in environmental and toxicological science because it determines the mobility, bioavailability, and potential for absorption by living organisms. Higher solubility often correlates with greater environmental mobility, and toxicity is often inversely related to solubility. In this work, the solubility of 4453 compounds in water was examined using quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR). The effectiveness of the Monte Carlo method, the correlation intensity index (CII), and the Las Vegas algorithm for developing organic compound solubility models is assessed using CORAL software. Both factors (CII and the Las Vegas algorithm) have been shown to improve the statistical quality of the model set for the calibration and validation sets. The average coefficient of determination for the validation set is 0.94 ± 0.01.

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...

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,...
