CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Hexylamine appears as a water-white liquid with an amine-like odor. Less dense than water and poorly soluble in water. Hence floats on water. May be toxic by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Water-white liquid |
| Odor | Fishy aroma |
| Boiling Point | 132 °C |
| Melting Point | -21 °C |
| Flash Point | 85 °F (NFPA, 2010) |
| Solubility | In water, 12,000 mg/L at 20-25 °C |
| Density | 0.7660 g/cu cm at 20 °C |
| Vapor Density | 3.49 (Air = 1) |
| Vapor Pressure | 8.99 [mmHg] |
| LogP | log Kow = 2.06 |
| Henry's Law Constant | Henry's Law constant = 2.68X10-5 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. |
| Decomposition | Upon decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. |
| Viscosity | 10.06 mPa.s at 20 °C |
| Heat of Combustion | -3.998X10+9 J/kmol |
| Heat of Vaporization | 36.54 kJ/mol (at boiling pt); 45.10 kJ/mol at 25 °C |
| pH | pH of 1% w/v aqueous solution was 12.9 at 30 °C |
| Ionization Efficiency | Positive |
| Refractive Index | Index of refraction: 1.4180 at 20 °C |
| Dissociation Constants | pKa of the conjugate acid (C6H13-NH3+) = 10.64 at 25 °C |
| Kovats Retention Index | 830 830 829 835 834.4 835.3 829 848 848 839 830 831 832 833 818 |
| Other Experimental Properties | In water solution, all of the simple alkyl amines share the property of forming ammonium ions; this is due to the ability of the free electron pair on the amine nitrogen to pick up a proton from water and form a hydroxide ion raising the solution pH. |
| Chemical Classes | Nitrogen Compounds -> Amines, Aliphatic |
