Additional information

The Henry's Law Constant (HLC) was estimated based on experimental data for vapour pressure and water solubility.

Based on measured data for vapour pressure (0.81 hPa at 20 °C; BASF AG, 1993, BRU 93.298) and water solubility (320 mg/L at 20 °C; OXEA, 2009, 09 -72036.1) a HLC was estimated to be 32.85 Pa*m³/mol (HENRYWIN v3.20, EPI Suite v4.11; BASF, 2013).

According to the bond estimation method of HENRYWIN v3.20 (EPI Suite v4.11), the HLC was calculated to be 5.58 Pa*m³/mol (BASF SE; 2013). The substance is within the estimation domain of the model.

The substance's pKa of 10.6 indicates that it will exist primarily as a cation in the environment. Therefore the method described in the REACH Guidance Document R7a, Appendix R.7.1 -2 (pH correction of partition coefficients for ionisable substances, p. 189) was applied to correct for the pH. The HLC was corrected for the charged molecule to a value of 8.25E-3 Pa*m³/mol at pH 7 (range: 8.25E-06 to 8.05E-01 Pa*m³/mol, pH 4 to 9; BASF SE, 2013).

In conclusion, the HLC of the charged molecule is expected to be < 1 Pa*m³/mol (pH 7, 25°C). Therefore, from the water the charged substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere.
