 Critical Evaluation:
   The only two available published works concerning the solubility of 2,4,6-tribromophenol in water are old and information provided in these works concerning the methods of analysis is incomplete. Also, the purity of the reagents used in the measurements is open to question. However, the solubility value of 70 mg(1)/kg(2) at 288 K determined by Werner (1) in 1884 agrees quite well with the value of 76 mg(1)/kg(2) at 17-18°C measured by Ogston (2). (These concentrations have been established in the same units by assuming the density of the saturated solution to be 1.0 g/cm3.)

It should be noted that the solubility of 2,4,6-tribromophenol in water is considerably dependent upon the acidity of the solution. Here, it is assumed that the solubility established refers to that of a solution having a pH value prevailing for saturated 2,4,6-tribromophenol in water.

The solubility of 2,4,6-tribromophenol in water is reported here as a doubtful value:
