Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Literature data (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 75th Edition)


d (20, w) (density of water at 20 °C) = 0.9982 g/mL


d (4, w) (density of water at 4 °C) = 0.99997 g/mL


d (20, a) (density of air at 20 °C) = 0.0012 g/mL


 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the density:

























Target condition according to guideline:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
The tests have to be run at 20 °C.The tests were performed at 20°C.Yes
At least two measurements have to be performed.Two values were measured.Yes

The relative density, D204, of solids or liquids is the ratio between the mass of a volume of substance to be examined, determined at 20 °C, and the mass of the same volume of water, determined at 4 °C. 


The relative density, D204, shall be reported as defined, along with the physical state of the measured substance.



The values of the relative densities are stated without further detail to the method or calculation used.


The phsyical state of the measured substance is not stated.


No. Nevertheless, although there are few details about the method stated in the study report, the relative density was determined according to guideline 92/69/EWG nad DIN 51757. Thus, the detailed specifications stated in these guidelines may be considered as being fulfilled.
Conclusions:
The density at 20 ºC was 1.383 g/cm3 and the relative density was 1.383.
Executive summary:

According to the OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids) corresponding to A.3., Council Regulations EC No 440/2008 the solid sample was accurately weighed into a 20 mL pycnometer and by displacement of the solvent (n-heptan), its equivalent volume was determined. Finally, the density of the sample was calculated. The density at 20 ºC was 1.383 g/cm3and the relative density was 1.383.

Description of key information

The density at 20 ºC was 1.383 g/cm³ and the relative density was 1.383.
