Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18/12/2009 - 22/12/2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 112 (Dissociation Constants in Water)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Dissociating properties:
yes
No.:
#1
pKa:
ca. 3.86
Temp.:
20 °C

Although no temperature was reported it was assumed that the test was conducted under ambient temperature (20°C)

Inflection point was observed when 0.2 mL of acid was added to the test solution. Therefore the pKa of the sample is the pH of the test solution after addition of 0.1 mL of acid (half the volume of acid required to reach the inflection point).

Conclusions:
The disscociation constant of ethylene carbonate was determined to be 3.86 at 20°C following a GLP study conducted in accordance with guideline OECD 112.

Description of key information

The dissociation constant of ethylene carbonate was determined to be 3.86 at 20°C following a GLP study conducted in accordance with guideline OECD 112 using the titration method (Baker, 2010).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:
3.86

Additional information

Although the temperature was not reported it was assumed that the study was conducted under ambient temperature.
