Details:

 

The test was performed in duplicate. Individual results are shown in the Table 1.

Temperature of the measurements was 20.0 +0.5°C.

 

Individual measurements and calculations are shown in Table 2.

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 (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 = 9.69 cm3

    Exp. 2: D = 9.69 cm3

    Mean D = 9.96 cm3

3.   Density of test substance = (C- A) / D

Exp. 1: density = 1.11 g/cm3

Exp. 2: density = 1.11 g/cm3

Mean density = 1.11 g/cm3

Conclusions:
A density of 1.11 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: 1.11 g/cm³ at 20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The density was determined by pycnomoeter method according to OECD Guideline 109.
