Results and discussion

Water solubility

Key result

Water solubility:

4.6 vol%

Temp.:

20 °C

Remarks on result:

other: see results below

Details on results:

Cited solubility: 4.6 ml/100 ml water at 20 deg C
This non-standard value can be converted into mg/L as follows:
- 4.6 mL/100 mL = 46 mL /L at 20°C
- NO gas density is 1.247 kg/m3 at 20°C (see Relative density) = 1.247 mg/mL
- so, water solubility is 46*1.247 = 57.4 mg/L

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In a peer-reviewed handbook, the solubility in water is indicated as 4.6 ml/ 100 ml water at 20 deg C, which corresponds to 57.4 mg/L at 20°C.
