A value with no row here was assembled from more than one record, so no single record is credited for it. The draft you buy carries this table as an appendix covering all 16 sections.

Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
Measured values for Sodium chloride, and where each one comes from
11 measured values for 7 properties, read from 1 public database. On 1 property the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Boiling point
1 record
Used with vapour pressure to judge how readily the substance reaches the air you breathe.
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
Vapour pressure
1 record
The higher it is, the faster the substance evaporates into the workplace air at room temperature.
- VP: 1 mm Hg at 865 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Density
2 records differ
Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.
- 2.17 at 25 °C/4 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Enthalpy of formation: -410.9 kJ/mol at 25 °C; Density of molten sodium chloride at 850 °C: 1.549 g/cu cm; latent heat of fusion: 0.52 kJ/g
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Solubility
4 records, each a different case
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- 36.0 g/100 g of water at 25 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- One gram dissolves in 2.8 mL water /3.57X10+5 mg/L/ at 25 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Slightly soluble in ethanol
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- One gram dissolves in ... 2.6 mL boiling water, in 10 mL glycerol
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Viscosity
1 record
Governs how far a spill spreads and how fast it soaks into a surface or a sorbent.
- Viscosity of saturated aqueous solution = 1.93 mPa-s
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
pH
1 record
Drives the skin and eye corrosion classification for solutions, alongside the corrosivity data.
- pH = 6.7 to 7.3; its aqueous solution is neutral
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
These are the public records read for Sodium chloride, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
