Description and Uses
Octane is a colorless liquid with a gasolinelike odor. The odor threshold is 4 ppm and 48 ppm (NewJersey Fact Sheet). Molecular weight = 114.26; Specificgravity (H2O:1)= 0.70; Boiling point = 125.6℃; Freezing/Melting point = 256.7℃; Vapor pressure =10 mmHg at20℃; Flash point =13℃(cc); Autoignition temperature =206℃. Explosive limits: LEL 5 1.0%; UEL = 6.5%.Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M RatingSystem): Health 0, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0. Practicallyinsoluble in water; solubility = 7 × 10-5.
n-Octane occurs in petroleum crackingproducts, gasoline, petroleum ether, andpetroleum naphtha. It is used as a solventand in organic synthesis.
