In the case of a class-2 substance—defined under the EPA s TSCA regulations as a substance whose composition cannot be represented by a definite chemical structure diagram—the substance may be identified on the TSCA Inventory in a less precise manner, e.g., Cg g alkenes. Persons using the TSCA Inventory are cautioned that such a category is not intended to encompass class-1 substances, defined under the EPA s TSCA regulations as substances that can be more precisely described. For example, 1-hexene, if manufactured as such, is considered a different substance than Cg.g alkenes, ... 

Although as a general rule no new information is required to file a PMN, the PMN cannot be filed without basic information on the substance s chemical identity. The substance s chemical identity must be described in Part I of the PMN form. The requirements for describing the chemical identity vary depending on whether the PMN substance can be categorized as a Class 1 substance, a Class 2 substance, or a polymer. Class 1 substances are chemicals that can be represented by a complete chemical structure diagram, and Class 2 substances are chemicals that can not be represented by a complete chemical structure diagram.

NOTE 2 The criteria are based on the self-ignition temperature of charcoal, which is 50°C for a sample cube of 27 rrf. Substances and mixtures with a temperature of spontaneous combustion higher than 50°C for a volume of 27 m should not be assigned to this hazard class. Substances and mixtures with a spontaneous ignition temperature higher than 50°C for a volume of 450 litres should not be assigned to hazard Category 1 of this hazard class.

Hazardous substances which are listed as dangerous goods are, as noted earlier, put into one of nine classes. Substances can be given a class on the basis of the main or primary hazard, and a subsidiary class on the basis of another class of hazard. For example, a chemical like red fuming nitric acid may be both corrosive and oxidizing. Class 8 and Class 5. 

For the class substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases, the hazard statements H260/261 are required ... 

We can divide isomers into two broad classes. Substances that differ in their connectivity are constitutional isomers. Isomers that have the same connectivity but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in space are stereoisomers. We will consider stereoisomers in greater detail in Chapter 8 and thereafter. 

M.p. 207°C. The naturally occurring substance is dextrorotatory. Arginine is one of the essential amino-acids and one of the most widely distributed products of protein hydrolysis. It is obtained in particularly high concentration from proteins belonging to the prolamine and histone classes. It plays an important role in the production of urea as an excretory product. 

Most high polymeric substances are composed of carbon chains, but a few contain other elements, and one very important class will now be considered. 

It must be emphasised that the following substances are merely representative of widely different classes of compounds, and that the test when applied to an unknown compound often provides only a general indication of the probable class to which the compound belongs. Moreoi er, the behaviour of a compound when heated is often determined more by the nature of its substituent groups than by its general character. 

Hydroxamic acid formation resembles amide formation (pp. 117-119) and therefore certain other classes of substances will respond to the test, e.g., acid chlorides and acid anhydrides, but these substances are readily distinguished by other reactions. 

A similar coloration is given by acid chlorides, acid anhydrides. ind many amides, but these classes of substances are readily detected by other means and cannot be confused with esters. 

It should be noted that only representative substances are indicated in the above list. Substituted derivatives of the compounds in most classes may be encountered, e.g., nitrobenzoic acid in the aromatic carboxylic acids (p. 347). This acid will contain CH(0)N, but the salient properties are still those of a carboxylic acid, CH(0), Section 14, although the properties of an aromatic nitro-compound (e.g.y reduction to an amino-compound) will also be evident. 

The analyses which follow are arranged in the order in which they would be applied to a newly discovered substance, the estimation of the elements present and molecular weight deter-minations(f.e., determination of empirical and molecular formulae respectively) coming first, then the estimation of particular groups in the molecule, and finally the estimation of special classes of organic compounds. It should be noted, however, that this systematic order differs considerably from the order of experimental difficulty of the individual analyses. Consequently many of the later macro-analyses, such as the estimation of hydroxyl groups, acetyl groups, urea, etc. may well be undertaken by elementary students, while the earlier analyses, such as estimation of elements present in the molecule, should be reserved for more senior students. 

This is clearly seen in large classes, where the values obtained for the "Constant may vary over a wide range, but the values for the molecular weight of a given substance, with each student using his own Constant", are (iisiiallv) rcmarkublv consistent. 

Qualitative analysis for the elements. This includes an examination of the effect of heat upon the substance—a test which inter alia will indicate the presence of inorganic elements—and quahtative analysis for nitrogen, halogens and sulphur and, if necessary, other inorganic elements. It is clear that the presence or absence of any or all of these elements would immediately exclude from consideration certain classes of organic compounds. 

Study of the solubility behaviour of the compound. A semi-quantitative study of the solubility of the substance in a hmited number of solvents (water, ether, dilute sodium hydroxide solution, dilute hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate solution, concentrated sulphuric and phosphoric acid) will, if intelligently apphed, provide valuable information as to the presence or absence of certain classes of organic compounds. 

Location of the compound within a class (or homologous series) of compounds. Reference to the literature or to tables of the physical properties of the class (or classes) of organic compounds to which the substance has been assigned, will generally locate a number of compounds which boil or melt within 6° of the value observed for the unknown. If other physical properties e.g., refractive index and density for a hquid) are available, these will assist in deciding whether the unknown is identical with one of the known compounds. In general, however, it is more convenient in practice to prepare one, but preferably two, crystalhne derivatives of the substance.
