Estimation of log Pow:

During the determination of the water solubility it was found that the water solubility depends on the applied sample size.

This means that the solubility in water is not a constant but increases with the mass of test item applied in the experiment because the test item is a mixture. Every constituent contributes to a different degree to overall solubility, depending on its own individual solubility and its mass fraction in the test item. Therefore, results depend on the proportions of test item and water used in the respective experiment.

In turn the test item does not have one single water solubility value (like a pure substance) but consists of different fractions with

different water solubilities. Since a generally valid value for the water solubility of the test

item cannot be determined, it is also not possible to estimate a generally valid log Pow value from the single solubilities in nOctanol and in water.

For orientation purposes, log Pow values were estimated using the results from the determination of the water solubility and applying a solubility of 1000000 mg/L in n-Octanol (corresponds to the sample size 100 g/100 g m1estttemlmmixture).

Calculation for sample size of 1 g/l

Pow= c Octanol / c Water = 1000000 (mg/l) / 6.3 mg = 158730.1587

log Pow = 5.20

Calculation for sample size of 10 g/l

Pow= c Octanol / c Water = 1000000 (mg/l) / 39.2 mg = 25510.20408

log Pow = 4.41
