Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Dissociation constant cannot be calculated because of low solubility. As the substance does not dissolve, it cannot dissociate in water.
Executive summary:

The dissociation of a chemical in water is of importance in assessing its impact upon the environment. It governs the form of the substance which in turn determines its behaviour and transport. It may affect the adsorption of the chemical on soils and sediments and adsorption into biological cells.

According to the OECD No. 112 guideline, three methods are available for dissociation constant determination. As the test item had no light absorption properties, the spectrophotometric method could not be used. As approximately 0.1 M solution of the test item was not achievable, the conductometry method could not be used either. Therefore, the titration method was applied.

Dissociation constant of the test item could not be determined under the conditions of this study. It was considered that the low solubility of the test item prevented the titration method from being feasible (the titration method is not suitable for low solubility substances).
