Key result

Type:

relative density

Density:

>= 0.89 other: dimensionless

Temp.:

20 °C

The value 0.8899 was taken and the relative density was calculated by dividingthe density of methyl valerate at 20 °C by the density of water at 4 °C (0.99997 g/cm³): 0.890.

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

Conclusions:

The density of methyl valerate lies in the range of 0.8899 and 0.9066 g/cm3 at 20 °C and of 0.88427 and 0.88522 g/cm3 at 25 °C.

Executive summary:

The density of methyl valerate lies in the range of 0.8899 and 0.9066 g/cm3 at 20 °C. The value 0.8899 was taken and the relative density was calculated by dividing the density of methyl valerate at 20 °C by the density of water at 4 °C (0.99997 g/cm³): 0.890.

Description of key information

The relative density is calculated by dividing the density of methyl valerate at 20 °C (0.8899 g/cm³) by the density of water at 4 °C (0.99997 g/cm³): 0.890.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
