Ethan

Tan (/ɛθeɪn/ or /iːθeɪn/) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C2H6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless and odorless gas. Ethane is separated from natural gas on an industrial scale, and is a byproduct of oil refining. Its main use is as petrochemical feed for ethylene production.

History
Ethane was first synthesized in 1834 by Michael Faraday using the electrolysis of potassium acetate solution. He mistook the hydrocarbon product of this reaction for methane, and did not investigate it. During the years 1847-1849, in an effort to defend the radical theory in organic chemistry, Hermann Kolb and Edward Frankland produced ethane by reducing propionitrile (ethyl cyanide) and ethyl iodide with potassium metal, by Faraday's method, by electrolysis of aqueous acetate. They, however, mistakenly attributed these reactions to the methyl radical, instead of the methyl dimer, ethane. This error was corrected in 1864 by Karl Schorlemmer, who showed that the product of this entire reaction was actually ethane.
The name ethane is derived from the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry.
