Conclusions:
The dissociation constant of the substance is 4.80 at 20°C and 4.69 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The experimentally determined dissociation constant of m-toluidine was 4.80 at 20°C and 4.69 at 25°C, Perrin, 1965. Both values indicate that under environmental relevant pH (5 -9) the substance is present mainly in its neutral form.

Description of key information

The experimentally determined dissociation constant of m-toluidine was 4.80 at 20°C and 4.69 at 25°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:
4.8

Additional information

The experimentally determined dissociation constant of m-toluidine is supported by a calculated pKa value of 4.7. The substance undergoes association (e.g. protonation) in water. Under environmental relevant pH (5 -9) the substance is present mainly in its neutral form.
