C2H53N

C2H53N, also known as triacontane, is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C30H62. It is a saturated hydrocarbon, meaning it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. Triacontane is a member of the alkane family, which includes hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature, with a melting point of approximately 68.5 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of around 370 degrees Celsius. Triacontane is not soluble in water but is soluble in organic solvents. It is commonly used as a reference compound in gas chromatography and as a component in the formulation of lubricants and waxes. The compound is also found in some natural sources, such as petroleum and certain plant waxes. Triacontane is relatively stable under normal conditions but can undergo combustion reactions when exposed to high temperatures or flames.
