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
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.

What I know and please correct me: a macroscopic probe of raw sugar you can buy from the store can be modeled to be an almost perfect cube of a size of 0.7 up to 1 mm. Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
