key study
Study period:
2009-06-05
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
flask method

21.1 mg/L
Temp.:
20 °C
pH:
ca. 7
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: slightly soluble (0.1-100 mg/L)
The water solubility was determined to be 21.1 mg/l at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

Decan-1 -ol was determined according OECD Guideline 105. The water solubility was determined to be 21.1 mg/l at 20 °C.

Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Value obtained from a recognised source of physico-chemical data. This reference is considered as definitive for water solubility values.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
No details are available on the guideline used to determine this result.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Water solubility:
39.5 mg/L
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: The temperature of the measurement is not reported and can be assumed to be ambient temperature.

The temperature at which this result was determined is not stated but it is consistent with expected properties at ambient temperature.

The pH of the solution is not stated, but since the substance is only a very weak acid (pKa > 16) it is anticipated to create a neutral solution.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: slightly soluble (0.1-100 mg/L)
A water solubility value of 39.5 mg/L is reported in a collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review . The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

The water solubility of decan-1-ol is 21.1 mg/L at 20°C. It is supported by a value of 39.5 mg/L, taken from a reliable and definitive reference source for solubility data (Yalkowsky and Valvani, 1980).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
21.1 mg/L
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The solubility of 21.1 mg/L was determined in a reliable study.

It is supported by a value of 39.5 mg/L, taken from a reliable and definitive reference source for solubility data (Yalkowsky and Valvani, 1980). The literature value is used in environmental modelling.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

As chain length increases, water solubility decreases, because the free energy required for a molecule to dissolve becomes less favourable for larger molecules.
