Calculation of the Vapour Pressure

The vapour pressure of the test item has been calculated for each determination using

 

Pvp = WxRxT / VxM

where:

Pvp = vapour pressure [Pa] (calculated)

W = mass of evaporated test item [ug] (determined by analysis)

R = gas constant= 8.314 J/K mol

T = temperature [K] (measured)

V = volume of nitrogen at test temperature [ mL] (determined from flow rate)

M = molar mass oftest item (components reported in the full study report)

Performance of the test

1. Three different flow rates were used at each temperature. Higher flow rates did not lead to lower vapor pressures, which means that the nitrogen

was saturated with test item under the conditions of the test.

2. Trapping efficiency of the test item in the first cooling trap was very good. Over 99% of the test item was trapped in the first cooling trap.

3. The calibration curve had the following parameters within the range of 0.4126 μg/mL and 127.78 μg/mL : y = a x^b where: b = 1.0048, a = 5.6087 and r2 = 0.9992

#1 : corrected volume at test temperature as calculated under ‘volume correction’

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item has been determined to be 0.59 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure was determined using EU Method A.4 and OECD TG 104 using the gas saturation method under GLP. To ensure saturation control, three different flow rates were used at each temperature. In the determination higher flow rates did not lead to lower vapour pressures, indicating that the nitrogen was saturated with test item under the conditions of the test. The mean vapour pressure was 30°C: 0.91 Pa ; 40°C: 2.6 Pa and 40°C: 5.5 Pa respectively. The vapour pressure of the test item was extrapolated from the vapour pressure curve (ln Pvp versus 1/T) and was calculated to be 0.59 Pa at 25°C.

Key Study : EU Method A.4, 2009 : The vapour pressure was determined using EU Method A.4 and OECD TG 104 using the gas saturation method under GLP. To ensure saturation control, three different flow rates were used at each temperature. In the determination higher flow rates did not lead to lower vapour pressures, indicating that the nitrogen was saturated with test item under the conditions of the test. The mean vapour pressure was 30°C: 0.91 Pa ; 40°C: 2.6 Pa and 40°C: 5.5 Pa respectively. The vapour pressure of the test item was extrapolated from the vapour pressure curve (ln Pvp versus 1/T) and was calculated to be 0.51 Pa at 25°C.
