These tables are constructed by experts in the field of chemical sciences, as well as amateurs and possibly less knowledgeable passers-by. Although these tables are well designed, and useful to present the relevant chemical data, the accuracy of information they contain cannot be guaranteed. This also applies to the information in the Hazards section, which is provided for reference value only. When handling chemicals, always take the proper precautions as defined also by other reliable sources of information. All data as presented in these tables is for materials in their standard state, which is at 25 °C and 100 kPa by definition. If values are given for other conditions, this is explicitly indicated.
