Abstract
Solution data of ten barbiturates at three temperatures in buffered systems was abtained at pH's of undissociated solute molecules and half-neutralized pH vlaues. From these results, various thermodynamic elements could be obtained. The solubility of these compounds showed an approximately linear relationship of mole fraction and carbon number. As the number of carbon atoms of various substituents increased, the aqueous buffered solubility decreased. Additionally, the solubility of linear carbon chains is greater than branched chain substituents with diminishing differences as the carbon number is increased. Finally, the solubility of these solutes, for the most part, were unaffected by the buffer componenets.
