Pentane is a flammable, colorless liquid with the formula C₅H₁₂. It belongs to the alkane family and has five carbon atoms. These atoms can be arranged in a straight line or branched, as in isopentane. Pentane occurs in natural gas and is made during crude oil refining. With a boiling point around 36°C (97°F), it’s commonly used as a solvent in labs and industries. Moreover, it plays a key role in making polystyrene and other polymers.
Pentane has unique properties that make it highly useful. Its density is about 0.626 g/cm³, allowing it to float on water. It’s highly volatile and flammable, so it needs careful handling. Being non-polar, it effectively dissolves non-polar compounds. Its low viscosity aids processes that require easy flow. With a boiling point of 36°C and a freezing point of about -130°C (-202°F), it’s ideal for cryogenic applications. Its ability to dissolve many organic substances makes it valuable in chemical synthesis and extraction.
