Abstract
THE Hildebrand approach1,2 provides an explanation of the solubility of nonelectrolytes based on a thermodynamic method. In this method used for the estimation of solubility, it is assumed that each molecule possesses a characteristic potential energy based on intermodular forces which may be described as the cohesive energy density. The latter may be defined as the potential energy of 1 cm3 of liquid or the energy required to separate all molecules in a unit volume of liquid. This value is zero when the molecules are randomly dispersed in a solution.
