N-Hexadecane; Hexadecane

CAS No.: 544-76-3

EINECS: 208-878-9

Molecular formula: C16H34

Molecular weight: 226.441

Density: 0.8±0.1 g/cm3

Boiling point: 286.6±3.0 °C

Melting point: 18 °C

Flash point: 135.0±0.0 °C

Properties: Colorless liquid, colorless leaf-shaped solid at low temperature.

Solubility Miscible with petroleum ether, slightly soluble in hot ethanol, insoluble in water.

Uses:

1. Used as a solvent and also used in organic synthesis.

2. Used as a solvent, gas chromatography comparison sample, and standard substance for determining diesel combustion quality. The cetane number of diesel is equal to the volume percentage of decadecane contained in the standard fuel (a mixture of hexadecane and a-methylnaphthalene) when the combustion quality is the same as that of the diesel being evaluated under specified working conditions. The cetane number is between 40-55.
