Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
other: predicted as per ACD/labs-ChemSpider
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Predicted using ACD/Labs phys-chem module in ChemSpider
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Initially, using SMILES as the input parameter in the ChemSpider database, the values of the surface tension was predicted for the individual components using ACD/Labs phys-chem module. Finally, the overall surface tension value was calculated on a weighted-average basis using the mole fractions of the individual components.
Type of method:
other: Predicted using ACD/Labs physchem module-ChemSpider
Surface tension:
38.89 mN/m
Remarks on result:
other: weighted average surface tension value predicted using ACD/Labs phys-chem module in ChemSpider
