Description of key information
The density of hexadecan-1-ol is 0.8886 g/cm3 at 16°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 0.889
Additional information
The density of 0.8886 g/cm3 was determined in a reliable study.
It is supported by a value of 0.82 (at 50°C, relative to water at 4°C), taken from a reliable handbook, and a consistent result from another reference source.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
The relative density values are similar across the category. Values are consistently within the range 0.80 - 0.90 at ambient temperature.
