Description of key information

In a study performed according to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Testing Guideline 112, the acid dissociation (Ka) constants for allophanic acid (CAS No. 625-78-5) were determined. The logarithms of the Ka values (pKa) for the three ionisable protons correspond to 5.0, 6.5 and 8.6.

Additional information

Investigations of the acid dissociation constant requires testing of a compound in its most protonated state. The most protonated state of potassium allophonate is allophanic acid (CAS No. 625-78-5), which is a triprotic; therefore, the log values of the acid dissociation constants (pKa) were determined to be 5.0 (pKa1), 6.5 (pKa2) and 8.6 (pKa3), indicating that allophanic acid will be negatively charged at environmental pH (Intertek ASG, 2010d).
