interactions on the one hand and the drug-water interactions on the other hand. The difference is correlated to the activity-coefficient of the drug in water w by the equation as given by: RT In w =DD + WW -2DW . If DD + WW -2DW>0 (usual case of non-electrolytes in water), there will be less than complete mixing and the drug will have a finite solubility in water.The greater difference between in the adhesive and cohesive interactions, lower the…
