Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE, study for Dissociation constant  does not need to be conducted if:
- The substance is readily oxidisable in water.
Expert Judgement
Potassium oxide Reacts violently with water. When water is added to Potassium oxide, Potassium hydroxide is produced.
K2O+H2O→KOH
Therefore testing for Dissociation constant does not need to be performed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE, study for Dissociation constant does not need to be conducted if:

- The substance is readily oxidisable in water.

 

Expert Judgement

Potassium oxide Reacts violently with water.When water is added to Potassium oxide, Potassium hydroxide is produced.

K2O+H2O→KOH

 

Therefore testing for Dissociation constant does not need to be performed.
