| Volatilization | The Henry's Law constant for 2-hexanone is estimated as 9.3X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 11.6 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 17,200 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-hexanone is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3). 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)(3) is estimated as 7 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)(3) is estimated as 7 days(SRC). 2-Hexanone's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 2-hexanone from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 11.6 mm Hg(1).

| Soil Adsorption | The Koc of 2-hexanone is estimated as 134(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.38(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-hexanone is expected to have high mobility in soil.
