Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen or wintergreen oil) is an organic compound with the formula C 8 H 8 O 3.It is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet, fruity odor reminiscent of root beer (in which it is used as a flavoring), [4] but often associatively called "minty", as it is an ingredient in mint candies. [5]
Toluene (/ ˈtɒl.juiːn /), also known as toluol (/ ˈtɒl.ju.ɒl, - ɔːl, - oʊl /), is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon [15] with the chemical formula C6H5CH3, often abbreviated as PhCH3, where Ph stands for phenyl group. It is a colorless, water -insoluble liquid with the odor associated with paint thinners.
It is a colorless, flammable, slightly greasy liquid of great industrial value. [3] The mixture is referred to as both xylene and, more precisely, xylenes. Mixed xylenes refers to a mixture of the xylenes plus ethylbenzene. The four compounds have identical molecular formulas C 8 H 10.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless [14] gas and therefore is not detectable by human senses alone. At standard temperature and pressure , it forms a monatomic gas with a density of 9.73 kg/m 3 , about 8 times the density of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level, 1.217 kg/m 3 . [ 15 ]
Hydroiodic acid (or hydriodic acid) is a colorless liquid. It is an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide with the chemical formula H I (aq). It is a strong acid, in which hydrogen iodide is ionized completely in an aqueous solution. Concentrated aqueous solutions of hydrogen iodide are usually 48% to 57% HI by mass. [2]
Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. [10] Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature. Although argon is a noble gas, it can form some compounds under various extreme conditions.
Anhydrous nitric acid is a colorless, low-viscosity (mobile) liquid with a density of 1.512–3 g/cm 3 that solidifies at −42 °C (−44 °F) to form white crystals. [citation needed] Its dynamic viscosity under standard conditions is 0.76 cP. [24] As it decomposes to NO 2 and water, it obtains a yellow tint. It boils at 83 °C (181 °F).
Epichlorohydrin (abbreviated ECH) is an organochlorine compound and an epoxide. Despite its name, it is not a halohydrin. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent, garlic-like odor, moderately soluble in water, but miscible with most polar organic solvents. [4]
