The purpose of the pentane

Pentane USES pentane are commonly used as fuel, narcotics, artificial ice, synthesis of amyl alcohol and so on, the chemical formula C5H12, dangerous, harmful to human body health. The word 'pentane' usually correct pentane, namely the straight-chain isomers. There are two isomers are pentane: isopentane and pentane. Purpose: a foaming agent, used as a low boiling point solvents, plastic industry, also with 2 - With methyl butane used in automobile and aircraft fuel, manufacture of artificial ice, anesthetic, synthesis of amyl alcohol, isopentane, etc. Second, the standard gas chromatographic analysis. Used as an anesthetic, solvent, low temperature thermometer manufacturing and used in the manufacture of artificial ice, amyl alcohol, isopentane, etc. Three, to make the standard gas, calibrating gas and used as a molecular sieve stripping agent. Four, used as a solvent, gas chromatography reference fluid and anesthetic. Is also used in organic synthesis and manufacturing low temperature thermometer. Five, used as a solvent, manufacture of artificial ice, anesthetic, synthesis of amyl alcohol, isopentane, etc. Health hazard: high concentrations can cause eye and respiratory tract mucous membrane mild irritation and anesthesia, and even loss of consciousness. Chronic effects for the eyes and respiratory tract mild stimulation. Can cause mild irritation. Dangerous features: highly flammable, the steam can form explosive mixtures with air. Open flame, hot easy to burning explosion. Strong reaction with antioxidants, and even lead to combustion. Liquid is lighter than water, insoluble in water, water drift can be spread to the distance, in which lead to combustion flame. In the fire, the heated containers with explosion danger. Its vapor is heavier than air, can spread in the low to very far place, meet will leads back to the burning flame.
