CAS 111-84-2: Nonane

Description: Nonane is a straight-chain alkane with the molecular formula C9H20, characterized by its nine carbon atoms. It is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, with a distinctive hydrocarbon odor. Nonane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it a non-polar compound. Its boiling point is relatively high compared to smaller alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size and increased van der Waals forces. Nonane is primarily used as a solvent and in the formulation of fuels, as well as in various industrial applications. It can be derived from petroleum and is often found in gasoline. Nonane is also of interest in research related to combustion and environmental studies, particularly concerning its behavior in the atmosphere and its role in air quality. As with other alkanes, nonane exhibits low toxicity, but it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested in significant quantities. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this chemical substance.
