Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The electrode was calibrated with pH 4, 7, and 10 traceable buffer solutions and a calibration slope of 99.0% was obtained. The room temperature was recorded as 25°C.

The iron gluconate test material was determined to be acidic and subsequently titrated with 0.1 N NaOH to produce titration curves of pH versus volume of titrant added. Table 1 provides a summary of the titration data. The pKa values acquired for each endpoint were plotted on separate graphs against sample weight and extrapolated back to zero weight to determine the ideal pKa value.

Conclusions:
Results are presented below for the two pKa values determined by potentiometric titration following the OCED test method 112 (12-05-81) protocol.
pKa 1 = 6.28
pKa 2 = 8.13

Results are presented below for the two pKa values determined by potentiometric titration following the OCED test method 112 (12-05-81) protocol.

pKa 1 = 6.28
pKa 2 = 8.13

pKa values are plotted against sample weight and extrapolated back to zero weight to determine the ideal pKa values. All of the individual pKa measurements met the test guideline for suggested repeatability quality criteria of ± 0.1 pKa units of the mean.
