Referenceopen allclose all
Atmospheric pressure not specified.
The barometric pressure corresponded exactly with 760 mm Hg when the boiling point was reached, so that the value of the latter, 11°C, could be determined directly.
Description of key information
Solution of chlorine dioxine generated in-situ at less than 2% in water (as registered): BP < = 100°C (close to the BP of water)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The substance as registered is always generated in situ as a gas dissolved in water, with concentration not exceeding 2%. No study was conducted to determine the boiling point of the substance considering the boiling point of the substance as very close to that of pure water, i.e. <=100°C. Therefore, a further assessment of the melting point is scientifically unjustified and this data is considered as key data for CSA purpose.
Other information : An experimental data reports the a value of 284 K (11°C) at 760 mm Hg (1013 hPa) for BP of the pure substance but composition of the substance is discussed. Several literature data, mainly from different handbooks, provide the same value of 11°C for pure chlorine dioxide (gas), but no details on composition of the test item were provided and atmospheric pressure is not always specified.
