Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-Octanol solubility:
10 mg of the test item were stirred with different amounts of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved particles.
According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol is around 1 g/l (without correction of the purity).

Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-Octanol solubility

According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol is around 1 g/l (without correction of the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the preliminary tests

The partition coefficient Pow may be estimated from the saturation concentrations in n-octanol and water by the following equation:

Pow = cs octanol / cs water

s: saturation

With the data obtained from the experiments in chapter 3.5.1 (csoctanol ~ 1 g/l) and the preliminary test (cswater = < 1,0 μg/l), the partition coefficient was calculated as log POW ~ 6.

Due to the fact that the estimated log Pow is above 4, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water has to be estimated from the individual solubilities in water and n-octanol

Determination of the solubility in the n-Octanol phase: Flask Method

 Amount of test item (mg) 1000  1000  1000 
 Stirring time at 30 °C (h)  24 48  72  72 
 Measured concentration (mg/l)  6.5 6.3  7.0 
 Dilution  0,05ml/10ml  0,05ml/10ml 0,05ml/10ml   -
 n-Octanol solubility (g/l)  1.29 1.26  1.39   -

Solubility of the test item – experiments A to D

Average 3 experiments A to C: 1,31 g/l

 Standard Measured concentration (mg/L)   % Recovery
 Standard 2 (c=0,68 mg/l)  0.7 102.9 
 Standard 3 (c=1,36 mg/l)  1.4 102.9 
 Standard 5 (c=6,8 mg/l)  6.9 101.4 

Concentrations of the standards for recheck

The recovery range from 101,4 % to 102,9 % indicates a sufficient accuracy of the analytical method

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the individual solubilities

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in n-octanol was determined to: cs octanol = 1,31 g/l

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in water was determined to: cs water = < 1,0 μg/l

Pow = csoctanol / cswater: 1,31 g/l /< 0,000001 g/l

Pow = > 1313868,

log Pow = > 6,1

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at 20 °C, from the individual solubilities in water and n-octanol, was determined to:
Pow = > 1313868
log Pow = > 6.1
