Density
« on: May 12, 2007, 06:29:18 PM »
Hi all,

Trying to find the density of ethyl acetoacetate but its in none of my text books or chem data books, found a few values on the web but dont trust them too much.  the web values are 1.021g/cm^3, if anyone has a data book could they please let me know wat the value is (with units)

Cheers

Or you can measure it by yourself with a pipette or something and an accurate balance.

By the way, if you're looking for the density to calculate what volume of ethyl acetoacetate to use in a reaction, you need not bother. It's usually easier and more accurate to weigh out the quantity you need directly on a balance.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
