• Chemicals can only be safely handled if their properties, reactions and behavior in different situations are fully known.
• This knowledge allows for the selection of the appropriate PPE –Personal Protective Equipment, as well as the techniques to be employed for containment, control and environmental monitoring.

Boiling Temperature (ºC)• This is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a
liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. At that temperature, the entire liquid changes to the gas state.
• Substances with low boiling temperature have a high vapor pressure. These are known as volatile substances.
• Boiling temperature of water = 100ºC.• Liquids with high teb tend to contaminate by absorption.
Low teb tend to contaminate by inhalation.
All POPs have a boiling temperature above 300 °C or decompose before boiling.
Mercury Teb is 357oC.
![Page 16: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Melting Temperature (ºC)
• It is the temperature for which a solid changes to the liquid state.
• The higher the melting temperature, the lower must be the risk of a substance, since the mobility of the material is lower.
• Water melting temperature = 0ºC.• Liquids and solids can present completely different
risks (inert and reactive).
The vast majority of POPs have a melting temperature exceeding 100 °C .

Vapor Pressure• It is the pressure exerted by the vapors above the
liquid level;• It represents the tendency of a liquid or solid to
produce vapors;• Depends on temperature;• The higher the temperature, the higher the vapor
pressure. Expressed in mmHg;• 760 mmHg is the maximum pressure at sea level.

Density/Relative Density of Liquids
• Density is the ratio between the weight of a substance and the volume it occupies. D = m / v For water the density is 1 g/mL or 1,000 kg/m3
• Relative Density is the ratio between the weight of a liquid and the weight of an equivalent volume of water. It indicates how many times the substance is lighter or heavier than water. It is dimensionless.
![Page 21: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Density/Relative Density of Gases and Vapors
DensityIt is the ratio between the weight of a gas and the volume it occupies at atmospheric pressure and 0 ºC. It is expressed in g / L. Air density is 1.29 g/L.
Relative DensityThe relative density is in relation to the air, so it has no units.For a substance, it indicates how many times it is lighter or heavier than the same weight of air.
![Page 24: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Vapor DensityThe few POPs vapors are, in theory, heavier than air and therefore remain in low areas with risk of intoxication or combustion.
Only hydrogen, methane, acetylene and ethylene have vapor density lower than air.
All gases and vapors, after an appropriate time, mix with the air, regardless of the density or relative density.
![Page 26: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Water Solubility• It is the ability of a substance to dissolve in or mix with
water. The solubility increases with temperature.Units: g of product/L of water or per 100 mL of water.
• Important data to predict the behavior of a substance.
![Page 27: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Solubility is useful to evaluate:• Toxicity – Water-soluble chemicals can be more easily
removed from the skin.
• Dispersion in water –Determining the impact and helps define removal techniques.
• Gas/vapor knock down– The efficiency of knock downprocedure on a cloud.
• Extinguishing agent – Water cools the chemical and reduces its flash point.

Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient - Log kow
The coefficient informs the potential of a chemicalagent to accumulate in animal fat by measuring yourequilibrium distribution between octanol and water.232
It is thus a way of evaluating the miscibility ofa substance across the hydrophilic solvent (water)and lipophilic (oil or fat).
![Page 31: Chemical Hazards Chemist Edson Haddad 2016 Sao Paulo – SP](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050214/626e4617b8f98d1f4f2d06c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient - KowKOW = Coctanol / Cwater
This coefficient numerically represents how much a liquid substance is distributed in a mix half oil and half water to a certain temperature and pressure.
The higher the Kow the greater will be the solubility in oils, and less in water. As the change in solubility of the substances is very large, a logarithmic scale is used to facilitate their interpretation.
Chemical Log KOW InterpretationHexane 3.9 about 8,000 times more soluble in octanol than in waterButanol 0.88 about 7,500 times more soluble in octanol than in waterAcetone - 0.24 about 2 times more soluble in octanol than in water
