Heptadecane

Description:
Heptadecane, with the chemical formula C17H36, is a straight-chain alkane that consists of 17 carbon atoms and 36 hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, odorless, and waxy solid at room temperature, typically melting at around 28-30 degrees Celsius. Heptadecane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. This hydrocarbon is part of the larger family of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons characterized by single bonds between carbon atoms. Heptadecane is primarily used in research and industrial applications, including as a standard in the determination of boiling points and in the study of phase transitions. Its relatively high molecular weight contributes to its higher melting and boiling points compared to shorter-chain alkanes. Additionally, heptadecane can be found in certain natural sources, such as in the waxy coatings of plants and in some animal fats. As with other alkanes, it is non-toxic and poses minimal environmental hazards under normal conditions.
