Abstract: 
The Abraham general solvation model allows for the analysis of environmentally safe solvents. By calculating solute descriptors using statistical software and calculational methods, one can calculate Abraham model equation coefficients. These coefficients will allow one to measure environmental safety and provide more information on solute-solvent interactions. The solute descriptors calculated can provide valuable information on solubilizing properties and replacing capabilities. Examination of the numerical entries reveals the equation which calculates the L solute descriptor provides reasonably accurate back-calculation of the known L descriptor values from the database. The small standard deviation, SD = 0.022, indicates the L descriptor from the Abraham model is accurate.
