The density of Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous was determined to be 2.316 g/cm3 at 20°C.

The relative density of Magnesium Chloride was determined to be 2.316.

Description of key information

Density and relative density of the MgCl2 have been determined according to guideline EC method A.3, OECD 109, using an air comparison pycnometer.

The density of Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous was determined to be 2.316 g/cm3at 20°C.

The relative density of Magnesium Chloride was determined to be 2.316.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
2.316

Additional information

The relative density of the MgCl2 was investigated in one GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with standard methods, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable (Klimisch 1).
