Description of key information
The melting point of cesium hydroxide monohydrate was determined to be 204 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 204 °C
Additional information
The determination of the melting point was performed according to EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline 102 by applying the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Since the results from the DSC method could not be unambiguously interpreted as melting, supplemental measurements were performed with the capillary tube method with photocell detection. After a preliminary test for the determination of the starting temperature, 3 capillaries were prepared and measured with a heating rate of 0.2 K/min. The following results were obtained: 202.5 °C / 206.0 °C / 204.7 °C Since the reproducibility of the first test was not very good, the test was repeated with a higher heating rate of 1.0 K/min, yielding following results: 205.3 °C / 204.3 °C / 203.1 °C. The mean of all six measurements was calculated to 204°C, which is in agreement with the peak maximum temperature of the DSC measurement. Therefore, the melting point of cesium hydroxide monohydrate was determined to be 204 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
