AI Thread Summary
To create a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, which has low water solubility, is challenging. The compound tends to dissolve at elevated temperatures but precipitates when cooled. Adding sodium hydroxide may temporarily enhance solubility, but precipitation occurs after a few hours. There is no straightforward method to achieve a stable aqueous solution. A mixed solvent approach could potentially work, but this depends on the specific application and desired concentration, which were not provided in the discussion. Additionally, a recommendation for solvent mixtures cannot be made without more details about the intended use. It is advised to have a foundational understanding of chemistry for safe experimentation.

TL;DR Summary
how can i make an Aqueous solution of tolyltriazole?
How can i make an Aqueous solution of tolyltriazole?
i need to make an Aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, but its solubility in water i very low. It dissolves with increasing temperature (50(c)) and redeposits with decreasing temperature. Some sodium hydroxide was added to the solution to improve the solubility, but again, after 2 hours, precipitation is formed by lowering the temperature. What is a way to make a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole?

Tolyltriazole is a mixture of organic isomers. One would fully expect it to be highly insoluble in water, consistent with the results you quoted.

There is nothing you can do about it, no obvious way to prepare a stable aqueous solution of the material.

It is conceivable that a mixed solvent might work, but that is a completely different question and very dependent on the intended application.

Thanks alot.
And what solvent mixture do you recommend?

Recommend based on what? Have you stated the desired concentration? No. Have you described the application? No. There is insufficient information to provide a reasonable recommendation.

Actually I do have a recommendation. I recommend that if you want to play chemist, you learn some chemistry, if only for the sake of safe practices.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
