Boiling pt.:

645 K

Atm. press.:

101 325 Pa

Key result

Boiling pt.:

372 °C

Atm. press.:

101 325 Pa

Accuracy checking:
The accuracy of the instrument was checked by determining the melting point of a certified sample of benzoic acid (certified melting point: 121.8°C - 123.0°C ±0.3°C).
The results were:
First determination: 121.6°C -123.4°C
Second determination: 121.6°C-123.0°C
Third determination: 121.7°C -123.0°C


Boiling point determination:
First determination: observed boiling point: 370.5°C
Second determination: observed boiling point: 370.9°C
During the experiment the substance became yellow around 350°C

 

Correction to normalized pressure:

The atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 98.35 kPa (Meteo Suisse).
A correction of the temperature to normalised pressure (101.325 kPa) was made.

The determination of this correction factor was made using the Sidney Young equation, as recommended in OECD guideline 103:

T_n= T + (f_T·Δp) 

 

Where:          Δp = 101.325 kPa – p

         p = pressure in kPa; the pressure was obtained from the Swiss meteorological service for the time of the experiment;

f_T = rate of change of boiling temperature with pressure in K/kPa, here a value of 0.53 K/kPa, (linear interpolation of the values for 323.15 K and 573.15 K as published in the OECD guideline 103) was used.

                      T = temperature in K

                      T_n= normal boiling point

 

After correction, it can be concluded that the standard boiling point of the test item is (values rounded off): 645K (372°C).

Conclusions:

From the tests described above, it can be estimated that the standard boiling point of the test item is (values rounded off):
645 K (372°C)

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test item was measured according to OECD Guideline No. 103 (principle according to Siwoloboff).

The result can be expressed as follows (values rounded off):
The boiling point of the test item is 645 K (372°C).
