Description of key information
A study performed for boric acid according to EU Method A6 reported a water solubility of 49.2 g/L. It is anticipated that if Orthoboric acid, potassium salt could be isolated from the chemical matrix in which it is made, it would exhibit essentially the same water solubility value as boric acid since, in a water environment, this salt will exist in equilibrium with boric acid, and boric acid will be the most abundant species present under these circumstances.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 49.2 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The difference between the determined water solubility for boric acid (Cordia JA et al (2003)) and the literature value (47.2 g/L, Mellor (1980)) could be explained by the fact that the two protocol methods used in each case were different.It is anticipated that if Orthoboric acid, potassium salt could be isolated from the chemical matrix in which it is made, it would exhibit essentially the same water solubility value since, in a water environment, this salt will exist in equilibrium with boric acid, and boric acid will be the most abundant species present under these circumstances.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
