Description of key information

The relative density of chromium trichloride, anhydrous is 2.8.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
2.8

Additional information

The relative density of chromium trichloride, anhydrous is reported in two reliable peer-reviewed handbooks as 2.76 at 15 °C and 2.86 at 25 °C, respectively. The average value of 2.8 at 20 °C is sufficient for risk and hazard characterisation and is taken forward accordingly. It is noteworthy that the relative density of chromium trichloride hexahydrate in crystalline form is much lower (1.76 at 20 °C) as described in the CRC Handbook.
