Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
Handbook data are considered from a trusted source. Data have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature - where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. The reference was peer-reviewed. In addition, the reference sources are indicated although not leading to sufficient information on the material & method used.
Guideline:

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method followed unknown; data from handbook.
GLP compliance:

Remarks on result:
other: Near room temperature. Anhydrous form.
Conclusions:
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (80th ed.) mentions a density of 2.5 g/cm3 near room temperature for calcium nitrate (anhydrous). The relative density is 2.5.

Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
documentation insufficient for assessment
Remarks:
From International Chemical Safety Cards. There is no indication that the physico-chemical data has been ‘peer reviewed’. The reference source is not indicated leading to insufficient information on the material & method used.
