Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The Henry's law constant quantifies the partitioning of a substance between the aqueous phase and the gas phase. As such it can be a measure for the partitioning of a chemical between natural water bodies (rivers, lakes, and seas) and the respective atmosphere.
Value used for CSA: Henry's law constant (H) at 20°C: 310 (in Pa * m3/mole)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Henry's law constant (H) (in Pa m³/mol):
- 310
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The work of Rathbun (1998) summarises the findings of various experimental or interpolation determinations of the Henry's law constant by means of equilibrium partitioning in closed systems, equilibrium cell, batch stripping, multiple equilibration, multiple injection interrupted flow, static headspace, or wetted-wall column methods. The values reported for the Henry's law constant at 20 °C range from 279 to 337 Pa * m3/mole and the mean value is 310 Pa * m3/mole. This high value indicates that a rapid volatilisation of chloroform from water is likely under environmental conditions.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
