Boiling Point / Boiling Range (DSC):

Four measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect (boiling) in the temperature range 90 °C to 160 °C with an onset temperature between 99.0 °C and 101.7 °C.The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline.

For the correction D tof the boiling point to standard atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) the equation, table and graphs of H.B. Hass and R.F. Newton in „CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 74th ed. 1993-1994“, pages 15-16 and 15-17 were used.

Dt = [(273.15+t) (3.0057-log p)] / [F+ 0.15(3.0057-log p)]            (t in °C, p in hPa)

For the estimation of F the test item was classified in group 6 (water) according to the table of H.B Hass and R.F. Newton.

The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) of 99.1 °C to 101.7 °C.

Conclusions:
The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) of 99.1 °C to 101.7 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the boiling point was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to OECD test guideline 103 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.2. The test item was heated up from ambient temperature and -50 °C, respectively, to the final temperature (200 °C) at a constant heating rate (10 K/min) in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). The quantity of heat absorbed or released was measured and recorded. Aluminium crucibles with a small hole were used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. About 18 mg to 30 mg of the test item were used. Four measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect (boiling) in the temperature range 90 °C to 160 °C with an onset temperature between 99.0 °C and 101.7 °C. The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline.

Description of key information

The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) of 99.1 °C to 101.7 °C.

The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline. The boiling point of the test item is influenced by its high water content.
