Reference
Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2013
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study well performed according to international guidelines but not under GLP conditions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Accuracy of the method was determined to be ± 1.0K while the OECD method indicates ±0.5K. This was considered as a minor deviation especially because a BP range was provided.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Boiling pt.:
>= 206 - <= 222.5 °C
Atm. press.:
101 325 Pa
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: Maximum of boiling : 2012.5±1.0°C

 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 1stmeasurement (N1) was 1010 hPa and was 1022 hPa at the day of the three other measurements (N2 – N4) which corresponds to a difference (Δp) of respectively of 0.325 kPa and 0.875 kPa

The rate of change (fT) of boiling temperature with pressure was 0.4 K/kPa

 

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

0.4 x 0.325 = +0.13 K for the first measurement N1

0.4 x 0.875 = - 0.35 K for the 3 other measurements N2. N3 and N4

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 : 479.1 ±1.0K. or 206.0 ±1.0°C
- Maximum of boiling : 485.6 ±1.0K. or 212.5 ±1.0°C
- End of the boiling point : 495.6±1.0K.or 222.5 ±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 : 479.1 ±1.0K. or 206.0 ±1.0°C

-         Maximum of boiling : 485.6 ±1.0K. or 212.5 ±1.0°C

-         End of the boiling point : 495.6±1.0K.or 222.5 ±1.0°C
