Preliminary study:
Sample solutions at pH 4 and 7 were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5°C for a period of 120 and 360 hours, respectively. As rapid hydrolysis was expected at pH 9, no preliminary test was undertaken.
Results:
pH4 - Less than 10% hydrolysis after 5 days at 50°C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25°C.
pH7 - The extent of hydrolysis after 360 hours indicated that a further test was required to estimate the rate constant and half-life [please see also "Remarks on results including tables and figures" - 1) Preliminary test]
Test performance:
Results from the preliminary test showed it was necessary to undertake further testing at pH 7, with solutions being maintained at 60 and 70 ± 0.5°C. This was due to the hydrolysis rate being greater than 10% after 5 days at 50°C. Due to the anticipated rapid hydrolysis at pH 9, solutions were
maintained at 20 and 30 ± 0.5°C.
Graphs of the common logarithm of the concentration (g/L) versus time (hours) were plotted for pH 7 and pH 9 and the rate constant and half-life calculated. By plotting the natural logarithm of the rate constants against the reciprocal of the temperature (K), the rate constant and half-lives at
25°C were obtained by either interpolation or extrapolation.
