Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The density of the test item Potassium isobutyrate was calculated as 1.3280 ± 0.0008 g/cm3 at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C, which is the mean of two values. Precision of the value is given as maximal error of a single determination.
Standard deviation was 0.0013 g/cm3, showing good correlation of the two determinations.
Therefore, the study is considered valid.
Executive summary:

Title of Study: Determination of the Density ofPotassium isobutyrate according to OECD 109 resp EU A.3

 Findings and Results:

Using the pycnometer method, a density of

 1.3280 ± 0.0008 g/cm3at 20.0±0.2 °C

 

was measured. This value is the mean of two independent determinations with the maximum error of a single determination.

Standard deviation was 0.0013 g/cm3, showing good correlation of the two determinations.
