Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point

Melting / freezing pt.:

38.5 °C

Atm. press.:

ca. 1 013 hPa

Any other information on results incl. tables

The thermogram for the melting temperature determination showed three peaks:

- peak 1 was the melting peak recorded during the first heating;

- peak 2 was the crystallisation peak recorded during cooling;

- peak 3 was the melting peak recorded during the second heating.

 

A melting point of 38.5 °C was derived from peak 3.
