Solubility of Benzo(a)pyrene & Other PAH's in Pure Water

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty in finding reliable sources for the solubility of Benzo(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in pure water at standard temperature and pressure (STP). A participant expresses frustration over the lack of information in their SI Data book and seeks guidance. Another user provides a helpful link to a Toronto health document that includes relevant data on PAH solubility. The original poster later finds a paper that presents empirical solubility data rather than theoretical models, indicating a breakthrough in their search for accurate information. The exchange highlights the challenges researchers face in accessing specific environmental chemistry data.

Hello all,

I am struggling to find papers or textbooks that can give me the solubility (mg/L or similar) of Benzo(a)pyrene and other PAH's in pure water at STP...

Does anyone hava link they can direct me towards for this, my SI Data book has nothing on the solubility of PAH's.

Thanks-

Thank you :)

I found this paper not long after posting this, and it is still one of the only papers I can find actually stating PAH solubility in a manner that is not a theoretical model!

I much appreciate your assistance.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!
