Abstract Problems are identified regarding the published equation coefficients of Hu and coworkers [J. Mol. Liq. 238 (2017) 296–302] for mathematically describing the solubility behavior of d -sorbitol in binary acetonitrile + ethanol solvent mixtures using the modified Apelblat, Combined Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent/Redlich-Kister (CNIBS/R-K) and Jouyban-Acree models. The published equation coefficients for the modified Apelblat and CNIBS/R-K models calculate one thousand times the mole fraction solubility of d -sorbitol, rather than the mole fraction solubility as stated in the published paper. More serious errors were found regarding the authors' analyses using the Jouyban-Acree model.
