Endpoint:
dissociation constant
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Well documented study conducted to good scientific principles
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The study analyses available data for the solubility of calcium sulphate in water with no added electrolyte. Ion-pairing was taken into account to calculate the standard therodynamic properties of the solution process. pK1 data is presented.
