Oktaani

Oktaani is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H18. It is an alkane, a type of hydrocarbon, and is classified as an octane. Oktaani is a straight-chain alkane, meaning its carbon atoms are arranged in a single, unbranched chain. It is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and standard pressure. Oktaani is not found naturally in significant quantities but can be produced synthetically through various chemical processes. It is primarily used as a solvent in industrial applications, such as in the production of plastics and other chemicals. Oktaani is also used as a fuel component in some types of engines due to its high octane rating, which indicates its resistance to engine knocking. Despite its potential uses, oktaani is not commonly encountered in everyday life and is generally considered to be a hazardous substance due to its flammability and potential to cause asphyxiation in confined spaces. Proper handling and storage procedures are essential when working with oktaani to ensure safety.
