1618090305= 1813 D.IE / 1107 (04212025_16010904) = 1813 FGI.BE / 04182113 (04212025_16010904 - BXI_1209200518_160518_180503151804_04182113)

Density: 0.6548 g ML^-1；密度：0.66 (水=1)

Melting point: -96 - -94 deg C

Boiling point: 68 - 69 deg C；沸点：68.7 deg C

Flash point: - 26.0 deg C；闪火点：- 21.7 deg C

水溶解度：不溶

Latent Heat of Evaporation = 365 kJ/kg = 157 Btu/Ib

• 1 kJ/kg = 0.43 Btu/Ibm = 0.24 k cal/kg
• The latent heat of evaporation is based on the fluids boiling point temperatures at atmospheric pressure.

危害

• F = 易燃 (其液体和蒸汽高度易燃，会累积静电。蒸汽比空气重，会传播至远处，遇火源可能造成回火。液体会浮在水面而扩散火势)
• Xn = 有毒性
• N = 对环境有害
• 具有一定的毒性，会通过呼吸道，皮肤等途径进入人体，长期接触可导致人体头痛，头晕，乏力，四肢麻木等慢性中毒症状，严重的可导致晕倒，神志丧失，甚至死亡。
• Case study: Hexane was used as a replacement for alcohol for cleaning the screens of iPhone in China. 

Uses

• used in the formulation of glues for shoes, leather products, and roofing.
• used to extract cooking oils from seeds
• a typical laboratory use of hexane is to extract oil and grease contaminants from water and soil for analysis.
