The solubilities of naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, and phenanthrene have been determined experimentally in five binary mixtures and one quaternary mixture of four common organic solvents (benzene, cyclohexane, thiophene, and pyridine) from 25/sup 0/C to the melting points of the solutes. The results have been correlated by using the classical equation for solid-liquid solubility and the experimental activity coefficients obtained have been compared to the values predicted by regular solution theory, extended regular solution theory, Wilson's equation, and UNIQUAC, after obtaining binary parameters from the solubility of each solute in the pure solvents.
