Hc20

Hc20 is not a single, universally defined term. In chemistry and related fields, it is sometimes used as shorthand for a hydrocarbon with twenty carbon atoms, typically written as C20H42. The most common representative is n-eicosane, a saturated, straight-chain alkane. Eicosanes occur in natural hydrocarbons such as crude oil and waxes. They are nonpolar and relatively inert; at room temperature C20H42 is a solid with low solubility in water and good solubility in nonpolar solvents. In analytical contexts, C20H42 standards and long‑chain isomers are used as calibration references in gas chromatography and as example compounds when studying phase behavior of hydrocarbons.

Beyond chemistry, Hc20 or HC-20 may appear as a model number, product designation, or code in various industries. Examples might include laboratory kits, electronics components, or software packages, with meaning determined by the manufacturer and documentation. The lack of a universal definition means that the term should be interpreted from the specific context, including accompanying identifiers or field of use.
