Comments on “Solubility and thermodynamic properties of maltol in different pure solvents”

Errors are discovered in the tabulated thermodynamic properties of dissolution reported by Li and coworkers. Specifically, the properties do not obey the standard thermodynamic relationship of ΔdissG = ΔdissH − T ΔdissS, where ΔdissG, ΔdissH and ΔdissS are respectively the Gibbs energy of dissolution, the enthalpy of dissolution, and the entropy of dissolution of maltol in the organic solvent at the solution temperature, T.
