What is property data?
Facts about the physical or chemical nature of a substance, element, compound, or material that are measured through experiment or observed and then recorded.

Flow of property data
![Page 4: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Property Data Terminology
Properties often have more than one name or are represented by symbols.
For example:acid dissociation constant
= acidity constant = acid-ionization constant
= Ka
= often represented by pKa

Identifying alternate terminology for properties Use the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and
Physics Use a search engine: The define option in
Google is particularly helpful for finding alternate names
![Page 6: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Identifying alternate terminology for properties cont.
IUPAC Gold Book Chemical Properties in Wikipedia

Search Example
What is the boiling point of these compounds that are commonly found in medicine cabinets? Can they safely be left in a car on a hot day?
a) Isopropyl Alcoholb) Acetonec) Hydrogen Peroxide

Evaluating Property Resources Where does the data come from? Authority?
Accuracy? Contains
how many compounds? how many types of properties? properties that undergraduates need? Boiling point,
melting point, density, bond angle, etc. valuable references?
Ease of use/ setup? Cost? Accessibility?

Try Sigma Aldrichhttp://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search/SearchResultsPage
Find basic physical properties including melting point, boiling point, density, formula weight, refractive index, density, flash point, toxicity data and IR and NMR spectra for compounds commercially available from all Sigma-Aldrich brands.
Search by name, molecular formula, CAS Registry Number or structure.
May search full text of catalog.

To see properties, click on product number. Different brandsmay have different properties.
![Page 13: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Find structure, mf & CAS number. Scroll down to see properties, references and safety information. More information may be found in MSDS and registration is no longer required.
![Page 14: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Enable popups to see the MSDS in PDF format. Section 9 has more properties.

Type your substance name as a keyword.
Find the Category of property you are interested in and the specific property. Specify a value, range of values, or simply that it exists.
Be sure to check “My Subscription” or “This Title Only” so you'll only be searching titles you have access to.
![Page 20: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The results list will display a list of tables. Click on one to view the properties for your substance.
![Page 21: Affordable Sources for Property Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568151f1550346895dc02b1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Each table will contain properties for your substance (and substances with similar synonyms). You can export and sort results.
