jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Is there such a thing with such a low boiling point that isnt toxic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 If there is, I haven't heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 http://web.mit.edu/3.091/www/pt/pert4.html is a periodic table with boiling points and symboll only, the boiling points are in kelvin not centigrade though, but its a simple conversion rate of: celcius = kelvin - 273.15 273.15 is approx, it is the value of absolute zero to two decimal places.

jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks for that, but it wasnt what i was looking for. Which substance would boil at 20-35C but I' not bothered about being toxic, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 none, if you look at that table the number is the boiling point, as you can see none boil at that temeperature, which works out as 293 - 308 Kelvin [the measurement on that link] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I could have answered it right away if you're looking a pure element that does that. But it seems that you want ANY liquid compound that boils at that temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah I'm not wanting a pure element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hmmm... Hydrocarbons have fairly low boiling points. Hey by the way, how pentane can be a gas in room temperature if it's boiling point is 35 Celsius? Does it have something to do with pressure? Petroleum ether (which isn't an ether at all) has boiling points varying from 20-75C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulkit Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yes you can find a whole load of hydrocarbons that satisfy your needs. Look at any homologous series and you'll observe a gradual increase in boiling point from a few 10's in negative degree celsius to a few hundreds. Surely you'll come across certain members that fit your need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah it will be at normal atmospheric pressure, any one got a link to a chart of hydrocarbons or know of anything in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Update got a chart, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 so do you need any more information about hydrocarbons or anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Not for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah it will be at normal atmospheric pressure, any one got a link to a chart of hydrocarbons or know of anything in particular? pentane seems to be a good candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yep thats the one I looked at, now finding a seller is not going to be easy, is there anything else that will work just this? I know some guy used ammonia xxxxx to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
