Description

N-Dodecane is a hydrocarbon that is used in the production of plastics and lubricants. It can be found in a variety of products such as chewing gum, paints, waxes, and insecticides. N-Dodecane exists as an oil at room temperature. This substance has a high affinity for water vapor and will form hydrogen bonds with the molecule. Hydroxyl ions can also bind to this substance, which causes it to expand when heated and become less dense when cooled. The transport properties of N-dodecane are dependent on its size and shape. This hydrocarbon has a hydrophobic effect which enables it to be used as a catalyst in reactions involving acid complexes or cationic surfactants. Kinetic studies have shown that N-dodecane has microbial infection prevention properties against microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cere
