Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-octanol solubility

100 mg of the test item were stirred with different amounts of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved particles.

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: 11.5 mg/l.

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in waterwas determined to: 1.2 g/l
