OBSERVATIONS

For water insoluble solids, the specific gravity of test chemical was recorded in replicates with respect to

specific gravity of water at respective test temperature and atmospheric pressure. The density was thus

calculated by multiplying mean of specific gravity and average density is reported.

CALCULATION

For water insoluble solids:

specific gravity - Wo

Wo + (Wa - Wb)

Where,

W0 = weight of test chemical in g = WPS - WP

WPS = weight of pycnometer + test chemical

WP = weight of empty pycnometer

WA = weight of pycnometer filled with water

WB = weight of pycnometer filled with water and test chemical

For reporting the density of test chemical multiply the specific gravity of that test chemical with the density of

water at that degree Celsius.

Density (g/cm3) = GS * ρtw

Where,

GS = Calculated specific gravity of that test chemical

ρtw = density of water at test temperature i.e. 20 °C

Conclusions:
The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 0.6331gm/cm3 at 20°C and 964.25 hPa.
