Solubility Practically insoluble in water; soluble in methanol;

freely soluble in 550% aqueous ethanol, propylene glycol,
chloroform, ether, hexane, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, soybean
oil, glyceryl monooleate, and lard, and in solutions of alkali
hydroxides.
Solubility Practically insoluble in water, glycerin, propylene
glycol, solutions of alkali hydroxides, and dilute aqueous
mineral acids. Freely soluble in acetone, benzene, ethanol
(95%), ether, methanol, toluene, fixed oils, and mineral oil.
More soluble than butylated hydroxyanisole in food oils and
fats.

Solubility 1 in about 1 of water by volume at normal temperature

and pressure.

Solubility: practically insoluble in ethanol (95%) and water.

Solubility in water is increased by the presence of
ammonium salts or carbon dioxide. The presence of alkali
hydroxides reduces solubility.

Solubility Soluble 1 in 1 part of ethanol (95%) and 1 in 1 of

water; sparingly soluble in ether.

Solubility Soluble 1 in 6.5 of water. The sodium salt is less soluble

in water than the free acid.

Solubility Miscible with chloroform, ethanol (95%), ether, fixed

oils, liquid paraffin, and most other organic solvents; practically
insoluble in water.
