Remarks on result:
other: The correct value of the kinematic viscosity at 20°C is 1.28 exp.-05 m2/s.

The kinematic viscosity at 40°C is 6.8 exp.-06 m2/s. An entry of this value was not possible (max. 5 decimal places are allowed and "exp. writing" is not possible.

Conclusions:
The determination of the dynamic viscosity was performed according to DIN 53019 (German industry norm) and OECD 114 using a rotary viscosimeter at 20°C and 40°C. The kinematic viscosity was calculated with the dynamic viscosity and the density at test temperature. The following results were obtained:
Dynamic viscosity at 20 °C: 1.63 E-02 Pa · s
Dynamic viscosity at 40 °C: 8.6 E-03 Pa · s
Kinematic viscosity at 20 °C: 1.28 E-05 m2/s
Kinematic viscosity at 40 °C: 6.8 E-06 m2/s
Executive summary:

The determination of the dynamic viscosity was performed according to DIN 53019 (German industry norm) and OECD 114 using a rotary viscosimeter at 20°C and 40°C. The kinematic viscosity was calculated with the dynamic viscosity and the density at test temperature. The following results were obtained for the 50.4% aqueous solution of2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid:

Conclusions:
In total, 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid can release 5 protons step by step. Each release is described by one equilibrium constant (pKa). Depending on the value, the acid dissociation constants (pKa values) indicate strong (#5), medium strong (#4, #3, #2) and weak (#1) acids.
The pKa values indicate neither very strong nor very weak acids.
Executive summary:

The calculation of the dissociation constants of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid in water was performed by software ACD ChemSketch ACD/Labs 7.00 Release, Product Version 7.05. Usually the resulting dissociation constants are calculated for 20°C.

2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid in water can release 5 protons step by step.

Each release is described by one equilibrium reaction or equilibrium constant (pKa):

H5L = H+H4L (pKa = 1.08 ± 0.42)

H4L = H+H3L (pKa = 3.99 ± 0.21)

H3L = H+H2L (pKa = 4.44 ± 0.10)

H2L = H+HL (pKa = 4.99 ± 0.14)

HL = H+L (pKa = 8.59 ± 0.50)

Depending on the pKa value, the acid dissociation constants indicate strong (pKs < 3.8), medium strong (pKs < 7.2) and weak (pKs < 16) acids.

The pKa values indicate neither very strong nor very weak acids.
