Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

For the solution that contains 60% of water , 37% Suga Nate 160 and 3%  NaCl

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
23.76 kPa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The vapor pressure of 100% water at 25 °C is 23.76 mm Hg. For the solution that contains 60% water, 37% Suga®Nate 160, and 3% NaCl the vapor pressure can be calculated from Raoult’s law: 

thevapor pressureof anideal solutionis dependent on the vapor pressure of eachchemical componentand themole fractionof the component present in the solution

For Suga®Nate 160, 37 g active Suga®Nate 160(MW 617.8 g/mol) = 0.0599 mol, 3 g NaCl (MW 58.44 g/mol) = 0.0513 mol, while 60 g water (18 g/mol) = 3.333 mol.

 

The mole fraction of water is thus: 3.333 / (3.333 + 0.0513 + 0.0599) = 96.8%  

The partial pressure of water is thus 0.968 * 23.76 = 23.0 mm Hg. 

Both Suga®Nate 160 and NaCl are salts, and have no appreciable vapor pressure, so the vapor pressure of the mixture is 23.0 mm Hg.
