SOLUBILITY IN WATER Insoluble SOLVENT SOLUBILITY

Soluble in hexane, toluene, ethanol and acetone. Insoluble in propylene glycol

The above statement with water is wrong.

I am currently running experiments on equilibrium concentration of succinic acid in a water/hexane system.

I was able to find several articles in the litterature where a mixture of succinic acid and n-butanol is used, but nothing with succinic acid and hexane.

I estimate the solubility of Succinic Acid in water to be ≥23.020±0.005 g/kg of water @ 21˚C. So far, 0.1g do NOT disolved completely in 133g of hexane, even after being heated to about 35˚C and stirred intensively for several hours.

Patrick is absolutely right. The first answer is completely wrong. Succinic Acid is not going to be soluble in hexane as Malonic and Succinic acid are both highly polar substances and Hexane is Non-Polar. Like dissolves like.

Hexane (C6H14) is a non-polar covalent molecule. By the chemistry principal of similar compounds being able to dissolve one another hexane is soluble in other non-polars. Benzene and acetone are soluble in hexane by this principal for example.
