SATURATED SOLUBILITY OF BENZOIC ACID Solubility: It is the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution at a certain temperature Classification of solutions (Based on amount of solute): I) Unsaturated Solutions II) Saturated Solutions III) Super--Saturated Solutions Super There are three types of solutions (Based on nature of solute and solvent) Gas/ liquid Liquid/ liquid Solid/ liquid Solubility is affected by: Temperature Type of Solvent pH Particle size Molecular Structure Crystal Structure Added Substance: Substance: e.g. electrolytes. Salting out Effect Determination of Solubility This comes in two steps: 1. Preparation of saturated solution 2. Analysis of saturated solution according to the nature of the drug Evaporation method Volumetric method Gravimetric method Instrumental method Experiment 9 • Determination of Solubility of Benzoic acid and effect of added salt 50 ml.
