Description

Application
It is used as a non-polar solvent in laboratories for extractions and chromatography in gasoline as a reference fuel (zero octane rating) and in industries for adhesives coatings rubber processing and vegetable oil extraction.

Purpose
Heptanes primary purpose is as an inert low-boiling solvent and standard for fuel testing due to its straight-chain structure and volatility.

General Description
Heptane (CH) is a straight-chain alkane appearing as a clear colorless highly flammable liquid with a mild petroleum-like odor. It has a boiling point of 98.4C melting point of -90.6C density of 0.68 gcm and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
