CALCULATIONS:

Density = (M1+A)/ (M2+A) X ρtw

1st calculated density	2nd calculated density
(49.669+0.058) ____________ X 0.9982 = 1.115 g/cm3 g/cm³ (44.428+0.058)	(49.068+0.051) ____________ X 0.9982 = 1.117 g/cm3 g/cm³ (44.323+0.051)
Average density	= 1.116 g/cm³

Conclusions:

The density of (±)-menthone (CAS No. 1074-95-9 ) was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the Indian standard method for determination of density of liquids [IS 4730:1994 (Reaffirmed 2010)] The mean density of the (±)-menthone was determined to be 1.116 g/cm³ at 20°C and 977.7 hPa.
