ABSTRACT
CH3 CASRN: 627-13-4; DOT: 1865; molecular formula: C3H7NO3; FW: 105.09; RTECS: UK0350000; Merck Index: 12, 8049 Physical state, color, and odor: Colorless to light yellow, flammable liquid with an ether-like odor. Odor threshold concentration is 50 ppm (quoted, Amoore and Hautala, 1983). Melting point (°C): -101 (NIOSH, 1997) Boiling point (°C): 110 at 762 mmHg (Weast, 1986) Density (g/cm3 at 20 °C): 1.0538 (Weast, 1986) 1.07 (Hawley, 1981) Diffusivity in water (x 10-5 cm2/sec): 0.88 at 20 °C using method of Hayduk and Laudie (1974) Flash point (°C): 20 (NIOSH, 1997) Lower explosive limit (%): 2 (NIOSH, 1997) Upper explosive limit (%): 100 (NIOSH, 1997) Henry’s law constant (x 10 -4 atm⋅m3/mol): 9.09 at 25 °C (Kames and Schurath, 1992) Ionization potential (eV): 11.07 (Rosenstock et al., 1998) Soil organic carbon/water partition coefficient, log Koc: Unavailable because experimental methods for estimation of this parameter for aliphatic nitrates are lacking in the documented literature Octanol/water partition coefficient, log Kow: Unavailable because experimental methods for estimation of this parameter for aliphatic nitrates are lacking in the documented literature Solubility in organics: Soluble in ether (Weast, 1986) and many alcohols including methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol.
