Description of key information
Lithium acetate dihydrate: 56 - 58 °C
Lithium acetate anhydrous: 280 - 287 °C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 280 °C
Additional information
A literature search was conducted. In a weight of evidence approach the literature values were evaluated. Four independent literature sources for lithium acetate dihydrate and three independent literature sources for lithium acetate anhydrous were available. The melting point of lithium acetate dihydrate was in the range of 56 - 58 °C. The melting point of anhydrous lithium acetate was in the range of 280 - 287 °C. Thus, the different literature sources report the melting point in the same range for lithium acetate dihydrate and anhydrous, respectively.
