Abstract
Abstract Experimental solubilities are reported at 25.0 °C for benzil dissolved in twenty three different organic nonelectrolyte solvents containing ester–, ether–, chloro–, hydroxy– and methyl–functional groups. Results of these measurements combined with our previously published benzil solubility data in benzene, toluene, dibutyl ether, carbon tetrachloride and saturated hydrocarbons, are used to test the applications and limitations of expressions derived from Mobile Order theory. For the 30 solvents for which predictions could be made computations show that Mobile Order theory does provide fairly reasonable (although by no means perfect) estimates of the saturation mole fraction solubilities. Average absolute deviation between predicted and observed values is circa 31%. In comparison, the average absolute deviation increases significantly to 1500% when ideal solution behavior is assumed.
