Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Standardization titrants:


0.1 M NaOH


Equivalence points 0.523 and 0.520 ml


Molarity: 0.0495 N/0.522 ml=0.0950 M


 


0.1 M HCl


Equivalence points 0.660 and 0.660 ml


Molarity: 0.0499 N/0.660 ml=0.0756 M


 


Titration method:


Clear equivalence points were observed at approximately 1.150 ml and 2.450 ml of NaOH solution added. The calculated pKa1, pKa2, pKa3, pKa4and pKa5values are presented in Tables 1 and 2 in attachment "T-1063FM - results dissociation constant.pdf".


 


Capillary Electrophoresis method:


Table 3 (attachment "T-1063FM - results dissociation constant.pdf") shows the electrophoretic mobility of piperazine at different pH values. Piperazine has two basic nitrogen atoms and therefore two pKa values. One pKa can be found at the pH where the dissociation charge is 0.5, the other pKa can be found where the dissociation charge is 1.5. From the table it can be deduced that the two pKa's of piperazine are 9.8 and 5.5.

Conclusions:
The two pKa's of piperazine were 9.8 and 5.5.
The pKa of pyrophosphate could not be determined.

It is planned to further investigate possible dissociation of T-1063FM.

Description of key information

Only the pKa of the organic component piperazine could be determined. For the inorganic component pyrophosphate literature values are reported (OECD guideline 112).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Two methods (titration and capillary electrophoresis) were applied, however none of these methods was suitable to determine the pKa of the test substance as a whole. The titration method is hampered because pyrophosphate has buffering properties as well and capillary electrophoresis is not applicable for pyrophosphate.

Therefore only the pKa of the organic component piperazine could be determined. For the inorganic component pyrophosphate literature values are reported.

piperazine moiety:

pKa1= 5.5

pKa2= 9.8

 

pyrophosphate moiety*:

pKa1= 1.52

pKa2= 2.36

pKa3= 6.75

pKa4= 9.29
