Measurement and Modeling of the Solubility of N,N-Dibenzylhydroxylamine in 17 Solvents from T=273.15 to 323.35 K and Thermodynamic Properties of Solution

In this work, the solubility of N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine (DBHA) in 17 pure solvents, including methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, isopropanol, n-octanol, cyclohexanone, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, toluene, isobutanol, n-pentanol, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, and tetrahydrofuran, was determined by a static gravimetric method with the temperature ranging from 273.15 to 323.35 K under atmospheric pressure. The solubility of DBHA was positively related to temperature in all selected solvents. Besides, the experimental solubility data were correlated with four thermodynamic models, i.e., the modified Apelblat equation, lambda h equation, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) equation, and the Wilson equation. The results indicated that all of the models could give satisfactory results and the NRTL equation provided the best fitting result. Furthermore, the dissolution thermodynamic parameters in the used solvents, including the Gibbs energy (Delta(dis)G), molar enthalpy (Delta H-dis), and molar entropy (Delta S-dis), were calculated according to the Wilson model, and it turned out that the dissolution process of DBHA was endothermic.
