Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Melting / freezing pt.:
-36.5 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

The freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which five consecutive readings are constant. In both runs, a steady decrease in temperature was observed down to -34.0ºC in preliminary test 1 and down to -35.5ºC in preliminary test 2. At the end of the tests, the test substance was a viscous liquid. the corrected results (for thermometer calibration of +1ºC) are -35.5ºC and 36.5ºC. Therefore, the freezing point of the test substance has been to be less than -36.5ºC.
