What is n-Heptane (CAS 142-82-5)?

n-Heptane CAS 142-82-5, with the chemical formula C7H16, is labeled as a straight-chain alkane derived from petroleum. It is colorless and smells like gasoline. With a boiling point of 98.42C, heptane heats and boils rapidly. Its evaporation rate, on the other hand, is extremely slow. The low density of heptane causes water to sink when it is combined with liquid heptane. Its roles in industry vary greatly because of its versatile chemical properties.
