Glyphosate is soluble in water to 12 g/L at room temperature. The original synthetic approach to glyphosate involved the reaction of phosphorus trichloride with formaldehyde followed by hydrolysis to yield a phosphonate.
What is the method used to determine the relation between the concentration of the glyphosate in water and its refractive index at fixed wavelength ?
Some research papers are available where the formula for the concentration is available.
Glyphosate, a frequently employed herbicide, may undergo several chemical reactions and transformations in water, dependent upon environmental circumstances and the presence of other compounds. The process of hydrolysis is a key event that might take place, when glyphosate combines with water to produce its decomposition product, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). The process of breakdown is often influenced by pH, with higher pH levels promoting the creation of AMPA.
