CAS 544-76-3: Hexadecane

Description: Hexadecane, with the CAS number 544-76-3, is a straight-chain alkane consisting of 16 carbon atoms and is part of the larger family of hydrocarbons. It is a colorless, odorless, and waxy solid at room temperature, with a melting point that allows it to remain solid in cooler environments. Hexadecane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a standard in chromatography and as a component in the formulation of lubricants and surfactants. Its molecular formula is C16H34, and it exhibits typical alkane characteristics, such as being non-polar and having a relatively high boiling point due to its larger molecular size. Hexadecane is also used in the study of phase transitions and as a reference material in thermodynamic studies. Additionally, it is found in certain natural sources, including some plant waxes and animal fats, contributing to its relevance in both industrial and research contexts.
