Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The graphs for molar conductivity and the limit of conductivity are shown in the attached background material.

The limit of conductivity is determined to be 0.42 -1cm² mol-1

Conclusions:
The dissociation constant (KD) was determined to be 0.00218 mol dm-3. The pKD-value is 2.66.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted according OECD Guideline 112 using the conductometric method. The dissociation constant (KD) was determined to be 0.00218 mol dm-3. The pKD-value is 2.66.

Description of key information

An OECD 112 study is available using the conductometric method.

Supporting information is provided in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:
2.66

Additional information

According to an OECD 112 guideline study the pKa of DCD is 2.66 at 20°C. According to Ullmann's Encyclopedia the pKa is 14.8, the pKb is 14.4. The handbook data do not indicate temperature information. Therefore the result of the guideline study is used.
