Heptane or n-heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H 3 C(CH 2) 5 CH 3 or C 7 H 16. When used as a test fuel component in anti-knock test engines, a 100% heptane fuel is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is 100% iso-octane ).

The density and boiling are the lowest of the isomers of heptane. The dielectric constant is 1.915, the lowest of the heptane isomers. The critical temperature is 247.7 °C and critical pressure 28.4 atmospheres. The refractive index at 20° is 1.38233, the same as for 2,4-dimethylpentane, equal lowest for the heptane isomers.
Nevertheless, by concise processes of distillation and refining, it is possible to separate 2-methylhexane from n-heptane. Within a group of isomers, those with more branches tend to ignite more easily and combust more completely. Therefore, 2-methylhexane has a lower Autoignition temperature and flash point when compared to
The boiling point of 89.7 °C is 0.3 °C higher than the value of 89.4 °C predicted by Wiener's formula, based on the structure of the molecule and the boiling point of n-heptane. [2] [3] The speed of sound at 3 MHz is 1149.5 m/s at 20 °C and 889.5 m/s at 80 °C. [7] [8] [9]
For example, cyclobutane and methylcyclopropane are isomers of each other (C 4 H 8), but are not isomers of butane (C 4 H 10). Branched alkanes are more thermodynamically stable than their linear (or less branched) isomers. For example, the highly branched 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane is about 1.9 kcal/mol more stable than its linear isomer, n ...
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager are revealing their friendship styles. On the June 14 episode of TODAY With Hoda & Jenna, the pair revealed that they took a popular quiz that The New York Times ...
It is an alkane, and one of the many structural isomers of heptane, consisting of a five carbon chain with a two carbon branch at the middle carbon. An example of an alcohol derived from 3-ethylpentane is the tertiary alcohol 3-ethylpentan-3-ol .
