Description of key information
The dissociation constant of Tri-n-Butylamine in water was measured by conductometry. The pKa at 25° is 10.89 and 11.04 at 18 °C. The pKa at 20°C was calculated using the temperature coefficient of -0.021 as given in Damsgaaard-Sorensen and Unmack (1935): 10.998 rounded to 11.0.
Due to the low water solubility of the test substance correction for dissolved carbonate were carried out. This was necessary, because at low concentrations, conductivity will be influenced significantly by dissolved carbonate and hydrogen carbonate and falsify results for pKa determination. Measurements were performed at 18°C.
In the supporting study (OXEA, 2009), a determination according to the titration method was not feasible due to the low water solubility of the submission susbstance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- pKa at 20°C:
- 11
Additional information
The following results were determined from the key study:
pKa at 20°C: 10.998 (from temperature coefficient of -0.021 as given in Damsgaaard-Sorensen and Unmack (1935), rounded to 11.0
pKa at 18°C (Damsgaaard-Sorensen and Unmack, 1935): 11.04
pKa at 25°C (Damsgaaard-Sorensen and Unmack, 1935): 10.89
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
