The molecular formula of pentane is C5H12. Pentane is classified in the alkanes category. Pentane is a colorless gas that liquefies at room temperature and is highly flammable. Pentane can be considered as one of the components of fuels. It should be mentioned that pentane can also be used as a solvent. Pentane gas has different isomers such as pentane, isopentane, neopentane.
Pentane can also be known by the names of amyl hydride, skelly solo. Normally, hydrocarbon compounds are created in two ways: the first method, separation according to the equilibrium of the phase condition between vapor and liquid. The second method, separation according to the difference in boiling points of hydrocarbons.
It can be said that pentane gas is a volatile gas that is liquid at room temperature. Pentane solvent is usually used for easy evaporation. Because pentane is a non-polar molecule, it can only dissolve non-polar substances.
Preparation of pentane gas
In fact, pentane gas production technology is a new process. Pentane gas can be prepared in two ways:
The first method of producing pentane gas is by separating volatile elements from heavier hydrocarbons based on creating a gas balance between vapor and liquid.
The second method is to separate pentane gas from other hydrocarbons, which is based on the difference in the boiling point of hydrocarbons.
