Description of key information

Parent compound palmitoyl chloride: not applicable

Hydrolysis product palmitic acid: The hydrolysis product palmitic acid has a calculated pKa of 4.75.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The dissociation constant study for the parent compound palmitoyl chloride (CAS 112 -67 -4) does not need to be performed as the substance is hydrolytically unstable.

The substance rapidly decomposes in water and forms HCl (CAS 7647 -01 -0) and palmitic acid (CAS 57 -10 -3).

For the hydrolysis product palmitic acid (CAS 57 -10 -3) a pKa was calculated with SPARC On-line Calculator to be 4.75. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model.
