  3. Hexane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane

    Hexane (/ ˈ h ɛ k s eɪ n /) or n-hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 6 H 14. [ 7 ] Hexane is a colorless liquid, odorless when pure, and with a boiling point of approximately 69 °C (156 °F).

  4. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated (in which all the C-C bonds are single requiring the structure to be completed, or 'saturated', by hydrogen) like hexane, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne. Open-chain compounds, whether straight or branched, and which contain no rings of any type, are always aliphatic.

  5. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Under standard conditions, from CH 4 to C 4 H 10 alkanes are gaseous; from C 5 H 12 to C 17 H 36 they are liquids; and after C 18 H 38 they are solids. As the boiling point of alkanes is primarily determined by weight, it should not be a surprise that the boiling point has an almost linear relationship with the size ( molecular weight ) of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Ball-and-stick model of the methane molecule, CH 4.Methane is part of a homologous series known as the alkanes, which contain single bonds only.. In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.

  7. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings.Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter— by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [1] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires.

  8. Natural gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gasoline

    Natural gasoline is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture condensed from natural gas, similar to common gasoline (petrol) derived from petroleum.. The chemical composition of natural gasoline is mostly five- and six-carbon alkanes (pentanes and hexanes) with smaller amounts of alkanes with longer chains. [1]

  9. Caproic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproic_acid

    Caproic acid, also known as hexanoic acid, is the carboxylic acid derived from hexane with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 4 COOH.It is a colorless oily liquid with an odor that is fatty, cheesy, waxy, and like that of goats [1] or other barnyard animals.
