Silver bromide

Boiling point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

boiling point

Type of information:

other: Handbook data

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

data from handbook or collection of data

Remarks:

Handbook data considered to be from a trusted source acc. to "ECHA, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance"

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Not applicable - Handbook data

GLP compliance:

not specified

Type of method:

other: method unknown - handbook data

Boiling pt.:

1 502 °C

Atm. press.:

1 013 hPa

Decomposition:

no

Remarks on result:

other: No atmospheric pressure was stated in the sources. It was thus assumed that the reported boiling point is valid at the standard atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa.

Conclusions:

Silver bromide has a boiling point at 1502 °C at standard atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information

In secondary literature (factual handbooks, chemical databases), the boiling point of silver bromide is reported as 1502°C or 1533°C. Other secondary sources report decomposition of silver bromide already at >700°C. However, the thermal behaviour at these high temperatures is of limited relevance for the chemical safety assessment. Thus, the boiling point from the CRC Handbook, which is considered reliable, is selected as the key value.
