All the rest, when heated by themselves, volatilize, some at lower, others at higher temperatures.
The vessel is then lowered into a jacket containing vapour at a known temperature which is sufficient to volatilize the substance.
It forms small cubes which melt at a red heat and volatilize readily.
The majority of the metallic chlorides are solids (stannic chloride, titanic chloride and antimony pentachloride are liquids) which readily volatilize on heating.
As a class, the metallic bromides are solids at ordinary temperatures, which fuse readily and volatilize on heating.
