Solubility of trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol in some solvents
The solubility of trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol in water, methyl acetate, acetic ester, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, 2-pentanone and acetoacetic ester was measured at temperatures ranging from about 300K to 330K, using a modification of the experimental technique of laser monitoring observation system. The solubilities were calculated by lambda h method, in which new parameters were introduced to express the activity coefficients of trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, and determined from the experimental data. The new parameters provide good calculated results. The experimental data were also correlated with a simple model, and results were compared with present lambda h model.
