First trial:

Mass loss (mg)	Mass loss duration (s)	Vapour pressure (Pa)	Temperature (K)	1/T (K^-1)	Log10(p)
0.619	600	5.43	296,65	3,371E-03	0,7349
0.732	600	6.45	298.95	3,345E-03	0,8094
1.432	600	12.74	304.85	3,280E-03	1,1050
3.084	600	27.72	311.25	3,213E-03	1,4427
6.574	600	59.76	318.45	3,140E-03	1,7764

A plot of Log₁₀(p) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with p in Pa and T in K) gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least square treatment.

Slope              -4604.2 

Intercept          16.229 

R²                   0.998

 

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship: 

Log₁₀(p (Pa)) = -4604.2 / T (K) +16.229

 

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 3.33 Pa at 293.15 K and 6.11 Pa at 298.15 K.

Second trial:

Mass loss (mg)	Mass loss duration (s)	Vapour pressure (Pa)	Temperature (K)	1/T (K^-1)	Log10(p)
0.644	600	5.65	296,15	3,377E-03	0,7517
0.844	600	7.43	298.85	3,346E-03	0,8711
1.700	600	15.12	304.95	3,279E-03	1,1796
3.498	600	31.45	311.55	3,210E-03	1,4976
7.105	600	64.65	319.05	3,134E-03	1,8105

A plot of Log₁₀(p) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with p in Pa and T in K) gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least square treatment.

Slope              -4420.8

Intercept          15.675

R²                   0.9995

 

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship:

Log₁₀(p (Pa)) = -4420.8/ T (K) +15.675

 

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 3.93 Pa at 293.15 K and 7.04 Pa at 298.15 K.

Conclusions:

Using the Knudsen Effusion method according to guideline OECD 104 and method EU A.4, the vapour pressure of NERYL ACETATE is 3.63 Pa at 20°C and 6.58 Pa at 25°C.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the vapour pressure of test item NERYL ACETATE. The method followed was designed to be compliant with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 104, "Vapour Pressure", adopted in March, 2006 and Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, EC A4, 23 July 2009.

In this dynamic method, the mass of the test substance flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell in the form of vapour, through a micro-orifice under ultra-vacuum conditions was determined at various specified temperatures (from 25 to 65°C). The Hertz-Knudsen equation was used to calculate the vapour pressure corresponding to the mass loss rate.

The Log₁₀(Vapour Pressure (Pa)) was plotted against 1/T (K) and a linear function was obtained. With this equation, the vapour pressure has been calculated for temperatures of 20°C and 25°C.

Two trials were conducted and five points were recorded for each trial.

Log (Vapour Pressure (Pa)) was plotted against reciprocal temperature and values of vapour pressure were calculated at 20°C and 25°C with the linear function parameters (slope and intercept).

These values respect validity criteria (less than 20% of difference) and the linear functions obtained own a correlation coefficient R² over 0.95.

Moreover the calculated values showed good correspondence with the experimentally determined ones.

In conclusion, the vapour pressure of NERYL ACETATE is 3.63 Pa at 20°C and 6.58 Pa at 25°C.
