Description and Uses
Hexane is a highly flammable, colorless, volatileliquid with a gasoline-like odor. The water/odor threshold is0.0064 mg/L and the air/odor threshold is 230- 875 mg/m'Molecular weight= 86.20; Specific gravity (H2O:1)= 0.66; .Boiling point = 68.9℃; FreezingMelting point= -139.49C; .Relative vapordensity (air= 1)= 3.0; V aporpressure = 124 mmHg at 20℃; Flash point=一21.6℃ (cc);Autoignition temperature = 225℃.Explosivelimits: .LEL= 1.1%， UEL= 7.5%. Hazard Identification (basedon NFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 1, Flammability3,Reactivity 0.Practically insolubleinwater;solubility = 0.002%. .
n-Hexane is a chief constituent of petroleumether, gasoline, and rubber solvent. It is usedas a solvent for adhesives, vegetable oils,and in organic analysis, and for denaturingalcohol.
