Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenges of creating a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, a compound noted for its low solubility in water. Participants explore the effects of temperature and the addition of sodium hydroxide on solubility, as well as the potential for using mixed solvents.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that tolyltriazole has low solubility in water and that it dissolves better at higher temperatures, but precipitates upon cooling.
  • Another participant asserts that there is no obvious method to prepare a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, suggesting that a mixed solvent might be a possibility but is dependent on the application.
  • A follow-up question asks for recommendations on solvent mixtures, highlighting a lack of information regarding desired concentration and application.
  • A response emphasizes the need for more context before making recommendations and suggests that understanding chemistry is important for safe practices.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the feasibility of creating a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, with some indicating that it may not be possible while others suggest exploring mixed solvents. The discussion remains unresolved regarding specific recommendations for solvent mixtures.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of information on desired concentration and application, which affects the ability to provide specific recommendations for solvent mixtures.

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 a lot.
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.
