Table 1. Determining the Density of the Immerision Liquid

Run Number  1 
Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g)  21.0 
Temperature (°C)  20 
Mass of water added to Pycnometer (g)  24.6 
Mass of immersion liquid added to Pycnometer (g)  23.9 
Volume of Pycnometer (ml)  25.0 
Calculated Density of water using Equation 1 (g.cm-3 0.99 
Calculated Density of immersion liquid using Equation 2 (g.cm-3 0.96 
Density of immersion liquid (kg.m-3 960 

Equation 1 (Calculation for the density of water)

Mass of water / volume of pycnometer = Density of water

Equation 2 (Calculation for the density of immersion liquid)

ρIL = mIL x ρW,t.( mW)-1

Where :

mIL is the mass of the immersion liquid

mW is the mass of water

ρW,t is the density of water at temperature t

Calculated value for the density of immersion liquid = 960 kg.m-3 @ 20°C

Table 2. Determining the Density of the Sample

Run Number 
Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g)  21.0  21.0 
Mass of sample added to empty Pycnometer (g)  13.0  11.0 
Mass of immersion liquid added to Pycnometer (g)  16.4  17.3 
Mass of immersion liquid and sample (g)  29.4  28.3 
Calculated Density of Sample(g/cm3)  1.66  1.58 
Density of Sample (kg/m3)  1660  1580 

Equation 3 (Calculation for the density of the sample)

ρs,t =msρIL .(m1– m2)-1

Where: ms is the mass, in grams, of the sample; m1 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill the pycnometer; m2 is the mass, in grams of immersion liquid required to fill the pycnometer containing the specimen; ρIL is the density of the immersion liquid. Mean Result : 1619 kg.m-3 at 20°C
Conclusions:
Density of the Ash was 1619 kg/m3 at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out in a GLP laboratory using a pycnometer method according to Method A3 Relative Density in Comission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008. The density was determined to be 1619 kg/m3.
