- Water solubility:

- pH:

- Remarks on result:
- other: Test temperature unknown; also, since the test item consists of only 50% choline chloride, it is possible that the actual water solubility is only 325 g/L.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: very soluble (> 10000 mg/L)
The data was gained from a powder only containing 50% choline chloride. Hence, it is possible, that the actual water solubility of choline chloride is not 650 g/L but only 325 g/L.
Also, data was gained from secondary literature referring to company data without proof. So, the results are not considered as reliable, but will be nevertheless used for the assessment of choline chloride until the data from the new, planned experimental study will be available, because the value is in the expected range taking into account the ionic structure and rather small molecular weight, and the classification as "very soluble" is unlikely to change. - Executive summary:
The water solubility of the test item (choline chloride 50 ± 1%, silicic acid ca. 35 % (colloidal), water ca. 15%) was determined to be 650g/L, hence, choline chloride is classified as very soluble.

- Conclusions:
- The water solubility was predicted using the WSKOW program v1.43 (EPIWIN v4.11). For the water solubility of the substance is predicted 1E+06 mg/L .
- Executive summary:
The water solubility of test item was determined by the computer program WSKOW v1.43 (EPIWIN v4.11). As first step, the program calculated the octanol-water partition coefficient and predicts subsequently the water solubility of the chemical compound. If relevant, the software utilizes different factors in these predictions. For the water solubility of test item was calculated 1E+06 mg/L.

Description of key information
Water solubility: 650 g/L (choline chloride 50 ± 1%, silicic acid ca. 35 % (colloidal), water ca. 15 %), very soluble based on handbook data and 1000 g/L based on calculation
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 650 g/L
Additional information
The water solubility of the test item was addressed via evaluation of different sources: Handbook data, calculation and assessment of secondary literature.
In general, the calculation leads to a solubility of 1000 g/L which is in line with the handbook data, which state that the substance is very soluble in water. The experimental data from the secondary literature confirms that fact as here a water solubility of 650 g/L for the test item is stated. All these values are in the expected range taking into account the ionic structure and rather small molecular weight, and the classification as "very soluble" applies.
Based on the above considerations no datagap is identified and the lowest value of 650 g/L (which is of course still very soluble) can be used for the chemical safety assessment.
