Hexadecane, 100 ml

This 100 mL container holds n-Hexadecane, a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent used in synthetic applications. Its molecular formula is C16H34 with a Molecular Weight of 226.45 g/mol. It has a Melting Point of 64.7°F and boils at 549°F under standard conditions. Due to its higher density compared to air, vapor from this substance will sink rather than rise. Safety measures include using a Precept label, wearing safety goggles, and safety gloves. However, it may cause fatal effects if ingested and enters the airways, and can also lead to skin irritation.
