Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Ecotoxicological information

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
Justification for type of information:
Sulfuryl dichloride hydrolyzes slowly in moist air and reacts violently with water, forming hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

2 H2O + SO2Cl2 → 2 HCl + H2SO4

Hydrogen chloride is a colourless gas which has a pungent odor, and has a vapour pressure of 42,200 hPa at 20°C and a water solubility of 823 g/L at 0°C. Its aqueous solution (called hydrochloric acid) possesses strong acidity. Hydrogen chloride is readily dissociated in water into hydrated protons and chloride ion. Sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid that dissociates readily in water to sulfate ions and hydrated protons, and is totally miscible with water.
