Reference

Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail

Justification for type of information:

Data is from experimental study report

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: Refer below principle

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The freezing point of a pure sample was determined by making measurements of the temperature as a function of time while the sample was submerged in a constant temperature bath at a temperature below that of the expected freezing point of the sample. The data (Temperature vs. time) was plotted; this plot is known as a cooling curve. The freezing point of test chemical was the value of temperature in the flat portion of the curve.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

other: Method according to Cooling Curve

Conclusions:

The mean Freezing point of test chemical was determined with cooling curve method and it was observed to be -8.15 °C at 965.7 hPa.

Executive summary:

The Freezing point determination of test chemical was performed using crushed ice and salt . The determination was done on the basis of cooling curve (time vs temperature) obtained when the test chemical was placed in the cooling bath. The freezing point was observed to be -8.15°C at 965.7 hPa.
