First determination, test item

63.9°C (337.2 K)

64.5°C (337.7 K)

Second determination, test item

63.8°C (337.0 K)

64.6°C (337.8 K)

First determination, reference item (oxalic acid dihydrate)

100.9°C (374.1 K)

101.5°C (374.7 K)

Second determination, reference item (oxalic acid dihydrate)

100.9°C (374.1 K)

101.6°C (374.8 K)

Melting point of the reference item ocalic acid dihydrate according to literature: 101°C

All validity criteria were met.

Conclusions:
A melting range between 63.9 and 64.6°C was obtained from a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 102 (capillary method).

Description of key information

Melting range: 63.9 to 64.6°C
Method: OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995) and EC Method A.1 (1992; Capillary method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
63.9 °C
