Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
255 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
259 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

The DTA shows an endothermal reaction with an onset at 255.24 °C (rounded value of 255 °C taken as melting point) and a peak at 255.94 °C.

Decomposition starts from the melting substance. The (exothermal) decomposition reaction shows an onset at 258.98 °C (rounded value of 259 °C taken as decomposition temperature) and a peak at 289.99 °C, the reaction energy of the decomposition being 1146 J/g.

Almost identical values were obtained in a DTA with an open cup (under 20 bar air)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Decomposition starts from the melting substance, with a melting point of 255 °C and a decomposition temperature of 259 °C.
Executive summary:

The DTA shows decomposition from the melting substance starting at 259 °C with a melting point of 255 °C.
