Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the solubility of various gases in water and four organic solvents is influenced by the molecular properties of the solutes, focusing on their intrinsic and induced polarities.
- For water, solubility is primarily determined by the intrinsic polarity of the solutes, while for organic solvents, both intrinsic and induced polarities must be considered.
- Including the dielectric constant of the solvent in the analysis allows for a unified solubility relationship across the different organic solvents, whereas the molecular volumes of solutes were deemed not significantly impactful.
Solubility correlations. Part 1. Simultaneous fitting of both solute and solvent properties.

A method is described for estimating solubility by fitting both solute and solvent properties in a single equation. The method is illustrated by examining the solubilities of five rare gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) and five 'permanent' gases (O(2), N(2), CH(4), CF(4), SF(6)) in either n-alkane (C(5)H(12) to C(16)H(34)) or alkan-1-ol (CH(3)OH to C(11)H(23)OH) solvents. Generally, the correlation (R(2)) values of the fits achieved were significantly better than 0.
