Decane

Description:
Decane is a straight-chain alkane with the molecular formula C10H22, characterized by its ten carbon atoms and corresponding hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature and is part of the larger family of hydrocarbons. Decane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it a non-polar substance. Its boiling point is relatively high compared to smaller alkanes, reflecting its larger molecular size and increased van der Waals forces. Decane is commonly found in petroleum and is used as a reference hydrocarbon in various chemical analyses. It serves as a solvent and is also utilized in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, decane can be involved in combustion reactions, producing carbon dioxide and water, which is significant in energy applications. Due to its relatively low toxicity, decane is often considered safer than many other organic solvents, although proper handling and safety measures are still essential.
