Water solubility

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

water solubility

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1954

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to same study

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Guideline:

other:

Deviations:

not specified

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Excess recrystallized p-aminophenol was added to previously boiled distilled water ( to expel dissolved oxygen) in a 200 ml flask placed in a thermostated oil-bath. The system was again boiled by evacuation ( to remove oxygen in the vapor phase), sealed off and allowed to equilibrate with occasional hand agitation. Samples were taken in a tared pipet and weighed, and the amine content was determined by the nitrate procedure.

ca. 0.6 - ca. 0.65 other: weight %

Temp.:

25 °C

Remarks on result:

other: solubility increases with temperature

Additional values based on temperature gradient graph:

0.39% @ 13 C;

0.80 % @ 30 C;

1.5% @ 50 C;

4.7% @ 80 C

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): soluble (1000-10000 mg/L)
Substance is soluble in water at 0.65% at 24 C.

Description of key information

Water solubility at 0.65% at 24C (6500 mg/l)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:

6 500 mg/L

at the temperature of:

25 °C

Additional information

One key study was included from a published study and three supporting endpoint records all from well known reference manuals.

The key study result from experimental data from literature was reported as 0.65% at 24C ( 6500 mg/L). This was referenced in a secondary supporting study also.. Two other supporting studies from secondary reference manuals reported water solubility as 11,000 mg/L at 0C and 15.75 g/L at 20C. All values fall into the soluble or very soluble range. It is concluded that based on this data that 4 -aminophenol is soluble in water.
