boiling point??

What is a literature boiling point??
Is it the same thing as just normal boiling point?
What does this temperature tell us in regards to distillation of alcohol? (alcohol properties)

mgb_phys

"in the literature" means the published accepted value.

I think this is a diferent question.

jnimagine

so the boiling point I find on MSDS or something is ok??
and about the question regarding distillation...
yeah, the next question is a different question..
so if a literature boiling point of a certain alcohol is obtained from distillation, what can you figure out from that value?

mgb_phys

Yes, or from the CRC handbook etc.
Boiling point does vary slightly pressure so the published value will be for sae level / 1 atmosphere.
