Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

pKa:
3.2
Temp.:
20 °C

The pKa for each determination was calculated as the average of individual values for which the proportion dissociated are between 10 % and 90 %. Data points outside this range were not used to compute the final result. To calculate the demanded pH range and the percentage ionised of the test substance, the following equations were used:

 value  equation
 pH range  pH range = pKa ± log 9
 %-ionised

 %-ionised = 100 / [1 + antilog(pKa - pH)]

(*) The data inside this range were used to calculate the average pKa.

The overall average pKa-value at 20 °C is pKa = 3.2 .
