In summary, to make a stable aqueous solution of tolyltriazole, you can try using a mixed solvent. However, it is important to consider the desired concentration and application before making any recommendations. It is also recommended to have a basic understanding of chemistry for safe practices.

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.

FAQ: Aqueous solution of tolyltriazole

What is an aqueous solution of tolyltriazole?

An aqueous solution of tolyltriazole is a mixture where tolyltriazole, a chemical compound known for its corrosion-inhibiting properties, is dissolved in water. This solution is commonly used in various industrial applications to protect metals from corrosion.

What are the applications of tolyltriazole in aqueous solutions?

Tolyltriazole in aqueous solutions is widely used in industries such as water treatment, cooling systems, and metalworking fluids. It serves as a corrosion inhibitor for metals like copper, brass, and other alloys, helping to extend the lifespan of equipment and systems.

How does tolyltriazole function as a corrosion inhibitor in aqueous solutions?

Tolyltriazole functions as a corrosion inhibitor by forming a protective film on the surface of metals. This film acts as a barrier, preventing corrosive agents in the environment from reaching the metal surface and thereby reducing the rate of corrosion.

Is tolyltriazole safe to use in aqueous solutions?

While tolyltriazole is generally considered safe for use in industrial applications, it should be handled with care. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines, should be followed to minimize any potential risks associated with its use.

What concentrations of tolyltriazole are typically used in aqueous solutions?

The concentration of tolyltriazole in aqueous solutions can vary depending on the specific application and the level of corrosion protection required. Typical concentrations range from 0.1% to 1.0% by weight, but it's important to follow manufacturer recommendations and conduct appropriate testing to determine the optimal concentration for a given use case.
