Water solubility
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:

- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.6 (Water Solubility)
- Version / remarks:
- , 2008
- Deviations:
- no

- Remarks:
- signed 2009-11-26
- Type of method:
- flask method
- Water solubility:
- 956 mg/L
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- pH:
- 12.3
- Remarks on result:
- other: This is the water solubility of calcium. The temperature was ± 0.5 °C.
- Water solubility:
- 1 337.6 mg/L
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- pH:
- 12.3
- Remarks on result:
- other: The water solubility of CaO was not stated in the study report. Therefore the value was recalculated from the water solubility value of calcium as stated in the study report.
- Details on results:
- No further relevant information was stated.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): soluble (1000-10000 mg/L)
The water solubility of the test item and /or degradation products has been determined to be 956 mg calcium/l of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C (recalculated value for calcium oxide: 1337.6 mg/l). - Executive summary:
The water solubility of calcium oxide was tested by measuring the concentration calcium ions in saturated solution. The solubility of calcium oxide was recalculated from the water solubility value of calcium, which was stated in the study report.
Reference
Description of key information
Water solubility of calcium oxide: soluble (study results, EU A.6 method)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 1 337.6 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
pH of the saturated solution: 12.3. For the evaluation of this endpoint, data from one guideline compliant study (EU A.6 method) was used as key information. The value for the water solubility of calcium oxide was recalculated from the solubility value of calcium, which was stated in the study report. It is standard textbook knowledge that calcium oxide reacts to calcium hydroxide in contact with water. The water solubility of calcium carbonate, as determined in a study performed according to OECD TG 105, is 16.6 mg/L at 20 °C.
