Tetradecane

Description:
Tetradecane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C14H30, characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain. It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature and is part of the paraffin series. Tetradecane has a melting point that is typically below room temperature, making it a liquid under standard conditions, while its boiling point is significantly higher, indicating its relatively high volatility compared to shorter-chain alkanes. This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for hydrocarbons. Tetradecane is often used as a standard in various analytical applications, including gas chromatography, due to its well-defined properties. Additionally, it serves as a model compound in studies of combustion and as a component in the formulation of fuels and lubricants. Its relatively high molecular weight contributes to its higher viscosity compared to shorter alkanes, and it exhibits typical alkane reactivity, primarily undergoing combustion and substitution reactions.
