Pentane C5H12

Presentation and danger of Pentane (C5H12)
Pentane (or n-pentane) is a linear alkane that presents itself in the form of a colorless liquid with an odor similar to gasoline. With the formula C5H12, it is mainly used in organic chemistry as a solvent for extraction processes, as well as for polymerization reactions and laboratory work. Pentane is also used as a refrigerant in some refrigeration systems, and as a raw material for the production of olefins and industrial compounds. It is also found in the manufacturing of low-temperature thermometers, or in construction where it can be used as an expansion agent in insulating foams.

Pentane is a highly flammable liquid – the vapors it emits also pose a very high fire risk. In case of ingestion and inhalation into the respiratory tract, it can be a deadly substance.
