Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
Deviations:
yes

Measured values:

As required by the OECD method, two sets of measurements were carried out:

 

Onset point (K)

Maximum boiling (K)

Endset (K)

 We observe an endothermic reaction which means the substance is being vaporized.

Corrected values:

Due to small deviations from the standard atmospheric pressure (less than ± 5kPa), measured values must be corrected.

 

The normal pressure is 101.325 kPa. The atmospheric pressure at the day of the measurement (N1) was 101.0 kPa and was 102.3 KPa at the day of the 2nd measurement (N2) which corresponds to a difference (Δp) of respectively of +0.3 KPa and -1.0 kPa

The rate of change (fT) of boiling temperature with pressure was 0.45 K/kPa (at 548K).

 

According to the Sidney Young equation. the correction factor was worked out to be:

0.45 x 0.3 = +0.14 K for the first measurement N1

0.45 x -1.0 = -0.45 K for second measurement N2

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The three data points describing this range after conversion to obtain normal boiling points by means of the Sydney Young equation are the following:
 
- Start of the boiling point range : 537.3±1.0K, or 264.2±1.0°C
- Maximum of boiling : 547.6±1.0K, or 274.5±1.0°C
- End of the boiling point : 556.4±1.0K, or 283.3±1.0°C
Executive summary:

The determination of the boiling point range was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No 103 “Boiling Point” (July 1995). The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) method was used.

 

Since the test item is a multiconstituent and is not pure, a boiling point range is best to characterize it. The three data points describing this range after conversion to obtain normal boiling points by means of the Sydney Young equation are the following:

-           Start of the boiling point range : 537.3±1.0K, or 264.2±1.0°C

-           Maximum of boiling : 547.6±1.0K, or 274.5±1.0°C

-           End of the boiling point : 556.4±1.0K, or 283.3±1.0°C
