Accuracy checking
The calibration of the instrument was verified at 20.0°C with cyclohexane as a reference substance just before the determinations.

The results were:
Cyclohexane reference value: 0. 779 g/ml
Instrument reading (average of two readings): 0.780 g/ml
The results are within the precision of the instrument(± 0.001 g/ml).


Density determination
The results obtained with 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde at 20.0°C were:
first sample: p = 0.970 g/ml
second sample: p = 0.969 g/ml
average (rounded off): p = 0.970 g/ml or D (20/4) = 0.970 
The estimated precision is: ± 0.001 g/ml.

Deviations from guidelines, study plan and standard operating procedures
No deviations;

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The result can be expressed as follows: p = 0.970 ± 0.001 g/ml at 20°C or D (20/4) = 0.970 ± 0.001
Executive summary:

The density of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)propionaldehyde was determined according to the OECD guideline No. 109 (oscillating densitometer method).

The result can be expressed as follows:
p = 0.970 ± 0.001 g/ml at 20°C
or D (20/4) = 0.970 ± 0.001
