solvent will tend to remain soluble in water with a larger number of carbon atoms chem.

In this respect also, oxygen containing solvents with relatively small numbers of carbon atoms (for example up to 10 carbons, preferably up to 8 carbons) are preferred. "Obviously, where more oxygens are present a solvent will tend to remain soluble in water with a larger number of carbon atoms"

The carbon to heteroatom (e.g. N, O, preferably oxygen) ratio will thus often be around 1:1 to 6:1, preferably 2:1 to 4:1. Where a solvent with a ratio outside one of these preferred ranges is used then this will preferably be no more than 75%, preferably no more than 50%, in combination with a preferred solvent (such as ethanol).

Очевидно, что в тех случаях, когда количество атомов кислорода больше, растворитель будет проявлять тенденцию к тому, чтобы сохранять растворимость в воде при большем количестве атомов углерода.
