Results of density measurement

Parameter 1st determination 2nd determination Average
Weight of empty pycnometer (Zpyc) 19.45143 18.08072 -
Weight of pycnometer with test substance 30.10086 27.32302 -
Weight of solid test substance (Z1) 10.64943 9.24230 -
Weight of pycnometer with sample and n-heptane (Z3) 42.25401 40.46370 -
Weight of pycnometer with n-heptane (Z2) 36.71308 35.5400 -
Density of n-heptane (ρliq) 0.68286 0.68349 0.68318
Density of solid substance (ρ) 1.4236 1.4626 1.4431
Relative density of solid substance (D420) - - 1.4431

Note: Standard deviation of relative density is 0.0364 and was calculated from variation range.

Conclusions:
Relative density: 1.4431, at 20 °C
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured using the pycnometer method. The procedure was performed according to the EU Method A.3 and according to the OECD guideline 109. The density was calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its known volume. The relative density was calculated as a ratio of densities of the substance at 20 °C and water at 4 °C.

Conclusion

Relative density: 1.4431, at 20 °C
