Succinic acid may be slightly soluble in hexane, but not to a useful extent. Succinic acid would be better suited for a solvent that it can hydrogen bond with due to its hydroxyl groups.

Does sulphur dissolve in hexane?

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. CHG Patrick - 25/08/10 ---- 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. -Trifectaus Sept 7,2010
