Tetracosane

Description:
Tetracosane is a straight-chain alkane with the molecular formula C24H50, belonging to the group of saturated hydrocarbons. It is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, characterized by its high melting point and low volatility compared to shorter-chain alkanes. Tetracosane is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as hexane and benzene. Its structure consists of a long carbon chain, which contributes to its waxy texture and makes it a component of various natural waxes. Tetracosane is often used in the production of specialty lubricants, coatings, and as a reference material in analytical chemistry. Additionally, it can be found in certain types of plant waxes and is studied for its potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. Due to its long carbon chain, tetracosane exhibits properties typical of higher alkanes, including low reactivity and stability under standard conditions.
