Octacosane

Description:
Octacosane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C28H58. It is a colorless, odorless, and waxy solid at room temperature, typically found in the form of a white crystalline substance. Octacosane is part of the higher alkanes and is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. Its melting point is relatively high compared to shorter-chain alkanes, and it exhibits a low vapor pressure, indicating its stability under standard conditions. Octacosane is commonly used in various applications, including as a component in wax formulations, in the production of lubricants, and as a standard in the study of phase transitions in hydrocarbons. Additionally, it has been investigated for its potential use in energy storage systems due to its high energy density. Overall, octacosane is a significant compound in both industrial applications and scientific research, particularly in the fields of materials science and organic chemistry.
