Referenceopen allclose all
The value at 25ºC is determined using the Antoine Equation by applying three standard coefficients for use in that equation, derived by Boublik et al. from reliable raw data.
Measurement
Vapor Pressure at 100°F (Calculated): 0.0021 mm Hg
Description of key information
The vapour pressure of a commercial sample of hexadecan-1-ol is 0.0021 mmHg (0.28 Pa; 0.003 mBar) at 38°C. It is supported by a reliable measurement of 0.0014 Pa at 25°C using a highly pure sample (Daubert and Danner, 1989), which is consistent with the trend of values for pure alcohols in the homologous series.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 0.001 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
The vapour pressure of 0.28 Pa at 38°C was determined in a reliable study.
It is supported by a consistent and reliable measurement of 0.0014 Pa at 25°C using a highly pure sample (Daubert and Danner, 1989). A value of 1.52E-04 Pa at 25°C, taken from a reliable reference source (Boublik et al., 1984) is also available.
The quantified value at ambient temperature from Daubert and Danner is used in environmental modelling.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols
As chain length increases, vapour pressure decreases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
