API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

The result applies to the page's pure-isopropyl-alcohol density reference. Common rubbing-alcohol products are mixtures with water and can have different densities depending on concentration and temperature.

Multiply liters by 0.786 kilograms per liter using the fixed 786 kg/m³ density basis.

Reference & Scope

Mixtures sold as rubbing alcohol are not equivalent to pure isopropyl alcohol and require their own measured density.

Methodology

Isopropyl Alcohol density and calculation basis

Evidence status: blocked.

Reference conditions for isopropyl alcohol remain under review.

temperature: 20 °C

grade: I9516, molecular biology 2-propanol

Source basis: Sigma-Aldrich, 2-Propanol I9516 product information. Product information p.1: density. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/281/750/i9516pis.pdf Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Resolve the adopted purity/temperature and numerical difference.

For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.786 kg per L.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this apply to 70% rubbing alcohol?

Not exactly. Water-alcohol mixtures have concentration-dependent density.
