Abstract
Solubilities of benzene in aqueous solutions of myo-inositol have been obtained at 15, 25, 35, and 45°C. Large ‘salting-out’ effects are observed, indicating that the inositol is as effective as the common strong electrolytes in decreasing the solubility of benzene. The results are intepreted by a simple model involving the hydration number of inositol as an adjustable parameter. Hydration numbers varying from 14.4 at 15°C to 9.1 at 45°C are reported.
