Boiling point relationship with solubility

A core tenet within green chemistry is that hazard is another chemical property Just like boiling point, solubility, or color (P). Familiarity with the relationship between hazard reduction and molecular design, and identifying the... 

The relationship between a chemical s structure and its biological action has been studied extensively for over a century (16). In cases where there is not a complete understanding of the mechanism/mode of action or where the influence of functional groups is not known or obvious, there is a vast body of knowledge on how different structural features within a class of chemicals may correlate with various levels of hazard. Structure-activity relations (SAR) or their mathematical treatment. Quantitative SAR (QSAR) have been developed for myriad endpoints including cancer, developmental and reproductive effects, aquatic toxicity, boiling points, water solubility and many others hazard endpoints. An instructor therefore has many opportunities to incorporate the concept of SAR at several points in the curriculum. 

Further, it is not at all strange that we can use number of carbon atoms to express the structure relation for many different properties. It is not being said that number of carbon atoms is in any way synonymous with solubility or boiling point or, in fact, that number of carbon atoms stands for solubility or boiling point. The structure-activity model essentially represents the relationship between structure and property in a quantitative mathematical form suitable for further use.
