Calculations:

A = weight of empty pycnometer (g)

B = weight of the pycnometer with Milli-Q water (g)

C = weight of the pycnometer with the test substance (g)

D = volume of the pycnometer (g/cm3)

SMW = density of water at the test temperature (g/cm3) (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 1981)

 

1.     SMW (resulting from the test temperature) = 0.9982 g/cm3

2.     Volume of pycnometer = D = (B - A) / SMW

Exp. 1: D = 9.7312 cm3

Exp. 2: D = 9.7259 cm3

Mean D = 9.729 cm3

3.     Density of test substance = (C - Amean) / Dmean

Exp. 1: density = 1.127 g/cm3       

Exp. 2: density = 1.126 g/cm3

Mean density = 1.13 g/cm3

 

Conclusions:
A density of 1.13 g/cm³ at 20°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.

Description of key information

Density 1.13 g/cm³ at 20°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A density value of 1.13 g/cm³ at 20°C was determined by pycnometer method according to OECD Guideline 109. This is supported by a value of 1.11 g/cm³ at 20°C determined by another density study according to OECD Guideline 109. The supporting result is in good agreement with the key study.
