Calculations

Sample number	n-octanol / water volume ratio	Partition coefficient	Log10 Pow	Mean partition coefficient
1 2	1:6	3.33 x 10³ 3.44 x 10³	3.52 3.54	3.38 x 10³
3 4	1:3	3.60 x 10³ 3.86 x 10³	3.56 3.59	3.73 x 10³
5 6	2:3	3.52 x 10³ -	3.55 -	3.52 x 10³

Mean = 3.55 x 10³       Log₁₀ Pow = 3.55       Standard deviation = 202

Comment:

The peak height of each standard associated with a particular sample was corrected to nominal concentration and the mean value taken prior to the calculation of the sample concentration.

Conclusions:

According to Council Directive 92/69/EEC A.8, the log Pow of the test item is 3.55 using the flask method.
The calculated log Pow of the test item is 3.27 (KOWWIN, vers. 1.68).

Description of key information
