Exact Mass：

12 g/mol

EC Number：

231-153-3

Characteristics

PSA：

0 Å²

Appearance：

Carbon black oil appears as a dark colored liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air.

Density：

1.5-1.8

Melting Point：

6602°F (Sublimes)

Boiling Point：

Sublimes

Water Solubility：

Insoluble (NIOSH, 2016)

Vapor Pressure：

0 mm Hg (approx) (NIOSH, 2016)

Odor：

Odorless

Taste：

TASTELESS

PH：

Surface oxidation, which is an inherent feature of activated carbon production, results in hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxylic groups that impart an amphoteric character to the carbon so that it can be either acidic or basic.
