Key result
H:
1.88 Pa m³/mol
Temp.:
20 °C

Henry's Law Constant (HLC) is calculated as described in ECHA's Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment R.16, using the following equation:

HLC = VP * MW / WS

With:

- VP = Vapour pressure expressed in Pa

- MW = Molecular weight expressed in g/mol

- WS = Water Solubility expressed in mg/L (which is equivalent to g/m3)

- HLC = Henry constant expressed in Pa * m3/ mol

The input parameters used are:

- VP = 2.8 Pa at 20°C

- MW = 178.3 g/mol

- WS = 265.8 mg/L

Hence, the resulting HLC is:

HLC = 1.88 Pa * m3/ mol

Conclusions:
The Henry's law constant was calculated to be 1.88 Pa m³/mol.
Executive summary:

The HLC was calculated in accordance with equation R.16-4 of the ECHA Guidance on IR & CSA, using experimentally determined values for vapour pressure and water solubility. The resulting value is: HLC =  1,88 Pa m3/mol at 20°C, indicating a low potential to volatilize from the water phase to the atmospheric compartment.
