Temp.:

Remarks on result:
other: Mean value of two assays (assay No.1: 2.242 ± 0.002 , assay No.2: 2.224 ± 0.001).

Any other information on results incl. tables

Two independent measurements at 19.2°C (assay No. 1) and 20°C (assay No. 2) were done. Run 1 of assay No. 1 and runs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of assay No. 2 were not taken into account because they did not comply with the quality criterion. A longer stabilisation time of the pressure was needed to obtain three consequent runs complying with the quality criterion.

The two assays resulted in relative densities of 2.242 ± 0.002 and 2.224 ± 0.001, respectively. The mean relative density was thus 2.233 ± 0.010 at 19.6°C.

Reference volume (Va) was 79.444 cm³.

Volume of sample cell holder (Vc) was 27.678 cm³.

Test item sample weight was 7.5900 g and 8.0786 g in assay No. 1 and 2, respectively.

The measurements are described in the table in the next section.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The relative density of praseodymium trichloride heptahydrate was determined according to EU A.3 method and OECD test guideline 109 in compliance with GLP using a gas comparison pycnometer. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 2.233 ± 0.010 at 19.6°C.
