Any other information on results incl. tables

Although testing would be preferable at 20 °C, in the absence of methods of temperature control for the relevant apparatus and the negligible influence of temperature on the density of solids, the method guideline (EC A3) requires that the determination of density of solids is to be performed “at room temperature”.

The mass density of a material varies with temperature and pressure and this variance is typically negligible for solids. Increasing the temperature of a substance may decrease its density by increasing the volume of that substance. Typical thermal expansion coefficients of solids are in the order of 10−5°C−1, and the volumetric expansion of stainless steel (used as calibration spheres) at 20°C is approximately 5.2 x 10-5°C−1. Thus, a change in temperature of several degrees will have no significant effect on the volume and hence the density of a solid substance.

Thus, it is considered that the effect of temperature within normal laboratory conditions will not have a significant impact on either the determined density or calculated relative density.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The density of copper acetate has been determined to be 1.92 at 21.9 ± 0.5 °C.
