Water solubility
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Testing was conducted between 02 October 2009 and 05 November 2009.
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.6 (Water Solubility)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Due to the high solubility of the test material (see details below).
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Due to the high solubility of the test material, it was not possible to prepare samples at five times the estimated saturation concentration as required by EC Method A6 for subsequent analysis. In addition, due to the limited linear range of the available ion chromatography analytical method, it was concluded that the dilution factor necessary to obtain sample solutions within a concentration range suitable for analysis would result in possible experimental variances greater than the accuracy achieved by the visual assessment procedure applied. The saturation period and equilibration period of 72 hours and 24 hours respectively were as specified by EC Method A6 to retain as many of the guideline parameters as possible in the amended procedure.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- Date of inspection: 2008-08-19 Date of Signature: 2009-03-04
- Type of method:
- flask method
- Remarks:
- EXAMPLE: The determination was carried out using the flask method, Method A6 Water Solubility of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
- Water solubility:
- >= 62.4 - <= 65 other: % w/w
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- pH:
- > 14
- Details on results:
- Please see section Remarks on results including tables and figures.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: very soluble (> 10000 mg/L)
The water solubility of the test material has been determined at 10, 20 and 30°C. Tripotassium orthophosphate was found to be very soluble (see results tables). The solution pH was determined to be >14.This study is conducted according to an appropriate guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint. - Executive summary:
Method
The determination was carried out by visual assessment using a flask method, based on Method A6 Water Solubility of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Conclusion
The water solubility of the test material has been determined. The results are shown in the following table:
Table 13
Test temperature
Water solubility
Typical solution pH
30.0±0.5°C
In the range 65.0 % w/w to 67.5 % w/w
>14
20.0±0.5°C
In the range 62.4 % w/w to 65.0 % w/w
>14
10.0±0.5°C
In the range 62.7 % w/w to 65.6 % w/w
>14
Overall, the effect of temperature over the range 10 to 30°C has been considered not to have had a significant influence on the observed solubility of the test material.
Additionally, an assessment of the solubility of the test material over the environmentally relevant pH range of 4 to 9 indicated observed solubilities and final solution pH’s similar to those obtained using unbuffered water. Thus, it can be anticipated that the water solubility of the test material over the pH range 4 to 9 would be constant, essentially due to the low buffering activities seen in the environment.
