Concentrations of the n-octanol phase were calculated directly from the absorbance values.

Concentration of the double distilled water phase was very low: even applying direct measurement to this phase, absorbance values were far below the lower limit of the spectrophotometer’s sensibility. Measured differences were below the error limits of the method.

At 96 hours values reached equilibrium, and so this value was considered for final calculations making duplicate determinations of every ratio o/w.

Executive summary:

Method

Partition coefficient was determined by means of shake flask method as per recommendations of OECD 107. Partition coefficient (P) is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting in two largely immiscible solvents.

Average Pow: 1.7812

Average log Pow: 0.2477
