Further Numerical Analyses on the Solubility of Sulfapyridine in Ethanol + Water Mixtures (open access)

Further Numerical Analyses on the Solubility of Sulfapyridine in Ethanol + Water Mixtures

This article aims to correlate the solubility of sulfapyridine and sulfadiazine in ethanol + water mixtures by means of the Jouyban-Acree model, and to evaluate the preferential solvation of sulfapyridine in these mixtures by using the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals.
