Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Dissociation constant (tetramethyl orthosilicate): not relevant
Dissociation constant (silicic acid): pKa1 = 9.9

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The requirement to test the substance for dissociation constant is waived because in contact with water the substance hydrolyses very rapidly. The hydrolysis products in this case are silicic acid and methanol. Silicic acid was reported to have dissociation constant values of pKa1 = 9.9, pKa2 = 11.8, pKa3 and pKa4 = 12 at 30°C in a secondary data source which has been subject to peer review and in which the original sources are traceable.
