Preliminary test:

The content of test substance dissolved in the n-octanol sample was 0.202 g/L.

 

Main study:

The 24-hour measurement was significantly higher than the 48- and 72- hour measurements (maximum difference > 15%). According to the guidelines, the octanol solubility of the test substance was given as the mean value of the 48- and 72-hour measurements (i.e. 0.124 g/L, mean of 0.132 and 0.116 g/L). The Pow, calculated as the quotient of the n-octanol- and water solubility, is 1.51x10-4. This corresponds with a log Pow value of -3.8.

 

A small response was detected in the chromatograms of the pre-treated samples from the blank octanol mixture. Further investigation revealed that the response may originate from an impurity present in the octanol. The analysed concentrations were not corrected for the blank response as such a correction appears not relevant in view of the high water solubility of the test substance in comparison to the solubility in n-octanol. The calculation of Powand log Powwould not be affected. 

Conclusions:
The estimation method was used for the determination of the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) Pow of Sodium Monochloroacetate (SMCA). The Pow and log Pow values of the test substance are 1.51x10E-4 and -3.8, respectively.

Description of key information

The octanol water partition coefficient was calculated from the ratio of the octanol and water solubility of SMCA. The Kow and log Kow values of the test substance are 1.51x10E-4 and -3.8, respectively.
