Water solubility

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

water solubility

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1980

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Basic data given

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The experiment was conducted in sealed stainless steel centrifuge tubes. An excess of the compound was added to a tube containing distilled water, and the tube was sealed and allowed to equilibriate at 25°C with constant or intermittent shaking. Equilibration was generally complete within 1 week. The mixture was then centrifuged at 10 000 rpm for 60 min in a head preequilibriated to 25°C, following which aliquots of the solution were removed for analysis either with a pipet or, for more volatile compounds such as chloroform, with a syringe. The entire procedure was carried out at least twice and each analysis was also conducted in duplicate. The substance was analysed with LSC (liquid scintillation counting).

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

flask method

Water solubility:

ca. 155.8 mg/L

Temp.:

25 °C

Remarks on result:

other: pH not reported

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: moderately soluble (100-1000 mg/L)
The water solubility of the substance was determined to be 155.8 mg/L at 25°C.

Executive summary:

The water solubility of the substance was determined via flask method to be 155.8 mg/L at 25°C.
