Explosiveness:

According to theoretical considerations based on chemical structure,ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide does not possess explosive properties. The reason for this is there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties in ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide. Thus,as per column 2 of Annex VII this end point was considered for waiver.

Oxidizing properties:

Ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide was determine to have no oxidising property.

Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products:

Ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide was found to be stable in organic solvent dichloro methane and no degradation products were formed after 24 hours as evident from the GC-MS chromatogram obtained at 0 hours and that obtained after 24 hours.

pH:

Dissociation constant:

The experimental pKa value for ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide was determine to be 0.000000002 at 30 deg C indicating that it has dissociation properties.

Viscosity:

This end point was considered for waiver since viscosity is an inherent property of a liquid that offers resistance to its flow and ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide is a solid substance and hence this testing was considered scientifically unjustified for ethyltriphenylfosfonium bromide.
