  2. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    The melting points of the alkanes follow a similar trend to boiling points for the same reason as outlined above. That is, (all other things being equal) the larger the molecule the higher the melting point. There is one significant difference between boiling points and melting points. Solids have a more rigid and fixed structure than liquids.

  3. List of straight-chain alkanes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_straight-chain_alkanes

    The following is a list of straight-chain alkanes, the total number of isomers of each (including branched chains), and their common names, sorted by number of carbon atoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Number of C atoms

  4. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    The boiling points of the pentane isomers range from about 9 to 36 °C. As is the case for other alkanes, the more thickly branched isomers tend to have lower boiling points. The same tends to be true for the melting points of alkane isomers, and that of isopentane is 30 °C lower than that of n-pentane.

  5. Octadecane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octadecane

    Melting point: 28 to 30 °C (82 to 86 °F; 301 to 303 K) ... Octadecane is distinguished by being the alkane with the lowest carbon number that is unambiguously solid ...

  6. Higher alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_alkane

    Higher alkanes are naturally present in crude oil and can be obtained via fractional distillation.Saturated fatty acids decarboxylate to higher alkanes. Long olefins can be hydrogenated to yield higher alkanes. n-alkanes can be isolated via the formation of urea clathrates.They can also be synthesized through Kolbe electrolysis or other coupling reactions like the Wurtz reaction.

  7. Heptane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptane

    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).

  8. Pentadecane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentadecane

    Melting point: 16.8 to 10.0 °C; 62.1 to 49.9 °F; 289.9 to 283.1 K Boiling point: ... Pentadecane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 15 H 32.

  9. Decane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decane

    Decane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 10 H 22. Although 75 structural isomers are possible for decane, the term usually refers to the normal-decane ("n-decane"), with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 8 CH 3. All isomers, however, exhibit similar properties and little attention is paid to the composition. [5] These isomers are ...
