Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 2-methylpropanenitrile is estimated as 5.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-methylpropanenitrile is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 16 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 7 days(SRC). 2-Methylpropanenitrile is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 32.7 mm Hg(4). |
Soil Adsorption | The Koc of 2-methylpropanenitrile is estimated as 37(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.46(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-methylpropanenitrile is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). |
