- Conclusions:
- Cyanamid F1000 does not dissociate in water.
- Executive summary:
The titration method, one of the possible experimental methods for determination of the dissociation constant (pKa), described in the OECD test guideline 112, was used in this study for pKa determination of the test item, Cyanamid F1000.
The pKa of Cyanamid F1000 could not be calculated because a dissociation reaction was not observed.
Aqueous solutions (approx. 0.005 mol/L) of Cyanamid F1000 have pH value of 6.3. They were titrated with 0.01 mol/L NaOH solution to test its acidic properties. There was no turning point in the titration curve, as it would be observed when an acid is titrated with a base. This result confirms the expectation that Cyanamid F1000 does not dissociate in aqueous solutions with pH values of 6 to 9. pH values > 9 were not tested since it is known from the literature that Cyanamid F1000 dimerises to dicyandiamide at pH values of 8 to 9.5.
Conclusion: Cyanamid F1000 does not dissociate in aqueous solutions with pH values of environmental relevance.
Reference
- Aqueoue solutions (approx. 0.005 mol/L) of Cyanamid F1000 have pH value of 6.3. They were titrated with 0.01 mol/L NaOH solution to test its acidic properties. There was no turning point in the titration curve, asit would be observed when an acid is titrated with abase. This result confirms the expectation that Cyanamid F1000 does not dissociate in aqueous solutions with pH values of 6 to 9. pH values > 9 were not tested since it is known from the literature that Cyanamid F1000 dimerises to dicyandiamide at pH values of 8 to 9.5.
- The evaluation of the titration results was performed according to A. Albert & E.P. Sergeant (Ionization Constants of acids and bases, Wiley, inc. New York, 1962) in which the guideline refers to.
Description of key information
The pKa of the test item could not be calculated because a dissociation reaction was not observed (in aqueous solutions with relevant pH values of 6 to 9).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
