Additional information

Method

Measurements of the relative density were performed with a pyknometer (50 mL capacity) equipped with a side-arm overflow capillary and a thermometer graduated in 0.1 °C according to the international standard ISO 1183.

n-hexan was used as immersion liquid.

To remove all air from the specimen, the pyknometer partially filled with the specimen and the immersion liquid was evacuated in a desiccator. After breaking the vacuum the pyknometer was removed in a thermostated bath and exactly filled to the limit of capacity with the immersion liquid.

The temperature was kept constant at 20 °C ± 0.01°C using an ultrathermostat

The following equation was used for calculation:       d_s= (m_s x d_IL)/(m₁-m₂)                                             

d_s =  density of the specimen (g/mL)

m_s=  mass of the specimen (g)

m₁=  mass of the liquid required to fill the pyknometer (g)

m₂=  mass of liquid required to fill the pyknometer containing the specimen (g)

d_IL=  density of the immersion liquid (g/mL)

Result:

Averaging the results of two experiments gives a relative density at 20 °C (related to water at 4°C) of 1.245.
