According to the reference, the density values can be assumed to refer to temperatures near room temperature. For this reason 20 °C was filled in as temperature.
The relative density was calculated from the value of the handbook. The value was divided by the relative density of water (1.000).
In the reference no temperature at which the density was measured was stated. It was assumed that the relative density was measured at 20 °C.
Description of key information
According to Handbook data (Merck Index, 2006 and CRC Handbook, 2008) cobalt sulphide has a relative density of 5.45 at 20 °C.
According to Harlan labs (2010) nickel sulphide has a relative density of 5.66 at 24.0 °C.
According to Harlan labs (2010) trinickel disulphide has a relative density of 5.98 at 23.0 °C.
