Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

1.0825 g/cm3 (20 °C); Lide (2013) - according to Lide (2013), "The number of decimal places gives a rough estimate of the accuracy of the value." Accordingly, the value may be regarded as reliable.


1.0825 g/cm3 (20 °C); Kirk-Othmer (2001)

Conclusions:
The density of 2-chlorotoluene is 1.0825 g/cm^3 at 20 °C (Lide, 2013; Kirk-Othmer 2001)
Executive summary:

The density of 2-chlorotoluene is reported in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 94th edition (Lide, 2013). According to the background information on the endpoint provided, the number of decimal places given should be taken as a rough estimate of the accuracy of the value. Considering this, the value can be regarded as reliable.
Furthermore, an identical value is reported by Kirk-Othmer (2001).

The following details are available from the database regarding the origin of the data on density:


Title: Sicherheitstechnische Kennzahlen brennbarer Gase und Dämpfe (mit 6. Nachtrag)
Author(s): Nabert,K.;Schön,G.
Journal: Deutscher Eichverlag; Braunschweig (Pub.)
Language: GERM
Year: 1963
Abstract: Safety values of about 1000 flammable gases and vapors: Explosion limits, ignition temperatures, flash points, explosion pressures.
Segment: PTB
ID: 8.1-EXL-1000.1990

Conclusions:
The density of 2-chlorotoluene is 1.08 g/cm^3 at 20 °C and 1013.25 hPa (Chemsafe-PTB, 2020)
Executive summary:

The density of 2-chlorotoluene is reported in the Chemsafe database maintained by PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany) and BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung, Berlin). Data from PTB (Braunschweig) and BAM (Berlin) must be regarded as reliable chemical safety data. Information on data origin is made available (data on density originate from 1990). Accordingly, the value can be regarded as reliable.

Additional information

The density for 2-chlorotoluene was determined to be 1.0825 mg/cm^3 (20 °C) based on a weight of evidence including three reliable compilations of physico-chemical data:


The density of 2-chlorotoluene is reported in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 94th edition (Lide, 2013). According to the background information on the endpoint provided, the number of decimal places given should be taken as a rough estimate of the accuracy of the value.
