Comment on Measurement and Modeling of Solubility of para- tert-Butylbenzoic Acid in Pure and Mixed Organic Solvents at Different Temperatures and Determination of Solubility and Thermodynamic Properties of Benzophenone in Different Pure Solvents

Errors are discovered in the tabulated thermodynamic properties for dissolution of tert-butylbenzoic acid and benzophenone dissolved in organic monosolvents. The thermodynamic properties of dissolution were reported in two recently published papers. Specifically, the dissolution properties that were reported by Aniya et al. and by Ouyang et al. do not obey the standard thermodynamic relationship of δdissG = δdissH - TδdissS, where δdissG, δdissH, and δdissS are respectively the Gibbs energy of dissolution, the enthalpy of dissolution, and the entropy of the dissolution of crystalline organic compounds in the organic solvent at the solution temperature, T. © 2018 American Chemical Society.
