Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Metller Toledo XS64
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The density of the samples is measured using the commercial balance (Mettler Toledo XS64), which functions based on the Archimedes' principle. The sample is weighed in air and in a liquid then the density is calculated by the automated software. To avoid deterioration of the samples (like chalcogenides glasses), the liquid chosen is absolute ethanol.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
air comparison pycnometer (for solids)

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Diarsenic triselenide
EC Number:
215-119-5
EC Name:
Diarsenic triselenide
Cas Number:
1303-36-2
Molecular formula:
As2Se3
IUPAC Name:
diarsenic triselenide
Test material form:
solid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The step-by-step procedure is as follows,
(i) Absoluteethanolisfilledinthecontainer.Makesurethattheleveloftheethanolimmerses the basket completely.
(ii) Note the temperature of the absolute ethanol (as shown on the thermometer attached to the device) and enter it in the balance. It is very important to periodically observe the changes in temperature and update the values in the balance. Wrong temperature value can affect the density results!
(iii) ‘Tare’ the balance.
(iv) Place the sample on the pan (in air). Wait till the value of weight is stabilized.
(v) Then, place the sample in the basket (in absolute ethanol). Wait till the value of weight is
stabilized.
(vi) Finally, the machine displays the calculated density (in g/cm3).
