Barium carbonate

Density

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

relative density

Type of information:

other: handbook data

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Handbook data considered to be from a trusted source acc. to "ECHA, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance".

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Not applicable - Handbook data

GLP compliance:

not specified

Type of method:

other: no data

Type:

relative density

Density:

4.31

Temp.:

20 °C

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 at 4 °C (1.000).

Conclusions:

According to the CRC-handbook, barium carbonate has a relative density of 4.31 at temperatures near room temperature.

Description of key information

Relative density: 4.31 at room temperature

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:

4.31

Additional information

According to reliable handbook data (e.g. CRC handbook) the rel. density of barium carbonate is 4.31 at room temperature (assumed 20°C). Handbook data considered to be from a trusted source acc. to "ECHA, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance" and therefore, the rel. density of 4.31 could be regarded as valid.
