Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Henry's law constant for cyanamide is H=0.0000268 Pa x M³/mol
Executive summary:

The Henry´s law constant is the ration of vapour pressure to solubility and is therefore a measure of the partition of a compound between air and water. The Volatility of cyanamide could be calculated from the vapour pressure, molecular weight and water solubility data. The Henry´s law constant calculated for cyanamide at 20°C was found to be H=0.0000268 Pa x M³/mol.


 


If the value of H is below 0.5 Pa x m³/mol, which is the case for cyanamide, the phase transition resistance lies almost totally in the liquid phase, i.e, the volatility is liquid-phase controlled. If the value of H is greater than 500 Pa x m³/mol, volatilization is vapour-phase controlled.
