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...
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
