Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Experimental test result performed using standard OECD test guidelines
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The boiling point determination of Test item Ethyl Formate (CAS No. 109-94-4) was done as per the test guideline OECD 103. The method followed was according to Siwoloboff.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- method according to Siwoloboff
- Key result
- Boiling pt.:
- 56.6 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 978.9 hPa
- Decomposition:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: Other details not available
- Conclusions:
- The test item being highly volatile in nature and gets readily vaporized. So, rise in capillary could not be observed. Hence the temperature of at which string of bubbles started emerging from the capillary was inferred to be the mean boiling point of the test item. The test was conducted in replicates and the mean boiling point of Ethyl Formate (CAS No. 109-94-4) was 56.6°C at 978.9 hPa.
- Executive summary:
The boiling point determination of Ethyl Formate(CAS No. 109-94-4) was done following OECD Guideline 103 and according to the method of Siwoloboff.The test item being highly volatile in nature and gets readily vaporized. So, rise in capillary could not be observed. Hence the temperature of at which string of bubbles started emerging from the capillary was inferred to be the mean boiling point of the test item.The test was conducted in replicates and mean boiling point was determine to be 56.6 °C at 978.9 hPa.

- 56.6 °C
Additional information
The boiling point determination ofEthyl Formate(CAS No. 109-94-4) was done following OECD Guideline 103 and according to the method of Siwoloboff.The test item being highly volatile in nature and gets readily vaporized. So, rise in capillary could not be observed. Hence the temperature of at which string of bubbles started emerging from the capillary was inferred to be the mean boiling point of the test item.The test was conducted in replicates and mean boiling point was determine to be 56.6 °C at 978.9 hPa.
From other reliable sources & authoritative databases it is concluded that boiling point of ethyl formate is in the range between 50 to 56 Deg C & 53.4 to 53.6 Deg C at 754.5 Torr, 50 Deg C at 659.4 Torr.
