Boiling point of methyl acrylate

Boiling point of methyl acrylate
Methyl acrylate is an important organic compound and a commonly used chemical raw material in industry. Its molecular formula is C4H6O2, and its structural formula is CH2=CHCOOCH3. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor. In this article, we mainly focus on exploring the boiling point of methyl acrylate and its related knowledge.
1、 The physical properties of methyl acrylate include a density of 0.902-0.903 g/cm3 and a relative molecular weight of 86.09. It can dissolve in most organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, benzene, toluene, etc., but is insoluble in water. The melting point of methyl acrylate is -75 ℃, the boiling point is 101 ℃, the flash point is -8 ℃, and the self ignition temperature is 427 ℃. It has good stability, weather resistance, and chemical properties, and can withstand certain heating and oxidation.
Boiling point refers to the temperature required for a substance to transition from liquid to gas at standard atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of methyl acrylate is 101 ℃, which is determined by its molecular structure and chemical properties. On the one hand, there are many non-polar bonds and aliphatic groups in the molecules of methyl acrylate, which result in weak intermolecular attraction and high volatility. On the other hand, the influence of the non-polar molecular structure of methyl acrylate on its boiling point cannot be ignored. Generally speaking, non-polar molecules have lower boiling points because their intermolecular forces are relatively weak, requiring less energy to convert them into a gas state.
3、 The application fields of methyl acrylate: Methyl acrylate is widely used in industry to manufacture various chemical products such as synthetic resins, plastics, rubber, textiles, pigments, and dyes. It can also be used as a raw material for coatings and adhesives. High purity varieties of methyl acrylate can also be used in the manufacturing of electronic materials, optical materials, and pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, it can also be used as an important raw material in fields such as liquid crystal displays, batteries, and zeolites.
