Where Can I Find a Comprehensive Boiling Points Table for Various Substances?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a comprehensive table of substances and their boiling points, expressing frustration over a previous thread deletion and the limitations of existing resources. They found a link to a chemical database but only retrieved melting points, which are deemed less useful for their needs. The discussion highlights the "CRC Handbook" as a valuable resource for such data, although access may be limited. Participants suggest that boiling point data is typically available in various tables categorized by substance type, but no single comprehensive online resource is identified. The conversation emphasizes the importance of boiling points for determining the nature and purity of substances, while also questioning the deletion of the original inquiry.

Hi,

I opened a thread here yesterday and it was deleted, I don't know why, I hope I'm in the right forum.
I'm looking for a table of substances and their boiling points. The closest thing I found was:
http://chem.sis.nlm.nih.gov/chemidplus/"
but for all of the substances I searched it only gave the melting point. I went over the sticky thread here ("chemical websites") and I couldn't find anything like that. Does anyone know where I can find such a table?

Thanks a lot!

That's because melting points are important for determining the nature an purity of a substance, boiling points are less usefu.
If you have access to a library the "crc handbook" is the bible of this stuff, you can also access it using google's books online
 
I found "crc handbook" on google books, but I can't find the boiling points of the substances I want. Maybe that's because there's limited access to this books. Do you know any online search engine for that kind of stuff?

Thanks!
 
The data is split into lots of tables for different substances (minerals, salts, organics etc)
I don't know of a comprehensive online resource other than googling.
What kind of substances are you looking for, how reliable does the answer have to be?
 
I just saw that these kind of stuff are not permitted here. Thanks for your help, I'll try to find something. :-)

What compounds are you interested in? I can't imagine any boiling point data being subject to deletion...
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
