Determination of the Boiling Point

	Heating Range [°C]	Heating Rate [°C/min]	Boiling Point [°C]	Boiling Point [K]
Preliminary Test	25 - 400	20	284.0	557.2
1^stMain Test	250 - 350	10	274.9	548.1
2^ndMain Test	250 - 350	10	275.4	548.6
Mean of boiling point:			275.2	548.4

 

The mean boiling point was calculated from the bold values (onset point of the endothermic reaction). No correction for atmospheric pressure was applied. The tabulated values represent rounded results obtained by calculation using the exact raw data.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the substance was determined to be 275.2 °C. The estimated accuracy is ± 0.5 K. The atmospheric pressure during the boiling point measurements was 98.7 kPa.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of salicylamide was determined by differential scanning calorimetry to be 275.2±0.5°C at 98.7kPa.

Additional information

The only available literature value for the boiling point is considered to be unreliable and is discarded. A recent value measured according to guidelines is selected as the value to take forward for risk assessment, classification and labelling.
