Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
dissociation constant
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
Peer reviewed publication
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Version / remarks:
Research methods
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The first and second molal dissociation quotients of malonic acid were measured potentiometrically in a concentration cell fitted with hydrogenelectrodes. The hydrogen ion molality of malonic acidJbimalonate solutions was measured relative to a standard aqueous HCI solution from 0 to100°C over 25° intervals at five ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 molal (NaCl).
GLP compliance:
no
Dissociating properties:
yes
No.:
#1
pKa:
ca. 2.8
Temp.:
25 °C
No.:
#2
pKa:
ca. 5.7
Temp.:

Conclusions:
When compared with oxalic and succinic acids, the dissociation constants follow a predicted trend with the lowest molecular weight member of the group being the strongest acid.
