npentaanin

npentaanin is a chemical compound, specifically an alkane, with the molecular formula C5H12. It is a saturated hydrocarbon, meaning it consists solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by single bonds. npentaanin is one of three structural isomers of pentane, the other two being isopentane (2-methylbutane) and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane). The prefix "n-" in npentaanin indicates that it is the straight-chain isomer, with the carbon atoms arranged in a linear sequence.

At standard temperature and pressure, npentaanin is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic gasoline-like odor. It is highly flammable. Its boiling point is approximately 36.1 degrees Celsius, and its melting point is around -129.8 degrees Celsius. npentaanin is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

In industry, npentaanin is often found as a component of gasoline. It is also used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. Its properties make it suitable for applications where a volatile, non-polar solvent is required. Like other alkanes, npentaanin is relatively unreactive due to the strong, non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds.
