Heptane has nine isomers including N-heptane,2 methyl hexane,2,2-dimethyl pentane,2,3-dimethyl pentane,2,4-dimethyl pentane,3,3-dimethyl pentane,3-ethyl pentane and 2,2,3-trimethyl butane.​This article aims to establish the difference between Heptane and N-heptane and explore their various uses in the chemical industry. What Is Heptane? Heptane is a colorless liquid and one of the components of gasoline. It is a straight-chain alkane with seven carbon and 16 hydrogen atoms arranged in branched or unbranched molecules. Thus, it has a C7H16 chemical formula. Heptane is a liquid at room temperature, highly flammable, and low boiling point. In addition, it’s less toxic and evaporates slowly. What Are The Uses…

The alcohol manufacturing business generated a household revenue of 28.7 billion in 2021. That effect was majorly due to the solvent’s use in manufacturing sanitizers to combat COVID-19.

Cleaning stubborn oil stains or paints on surfaces is difficult. That’s because water isn’t enough to do the job, and most of the solvents either don’t work or damage your items. Which only serves to frustrate you and waste your money. But that doesn’t have to be the case.​Below you’ll find out all about acetone and denatured alcohol. You’ll learn the characteristics of the two solvents, how you can use them, and choose the best product for your needs. Let’s get to it. What is Acetone? Acetone is an explicit solvent with a nail polish smell, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and…

Did you know that people have used antiseptics since the 1800s? Yes, you read that right. Isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide were popular choices in cleaning contaminated surfaces and preventing the spread of germs. ​Below, you’ll find out about the two solvents, how you can use them, and which is better than the other. So let’s dive right into the difference between hydrogen peroxide vs isopropyl alcohol. What are Isopropyl Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide? Isopropyl alcohol is a solvent with a molecular structure of three carbon atoms. Therefore, the disinfectant is also clear, colorless, and with an irritating smell. On the other hand,…

Although washing hands with soap and water is the most effective way of fighting germs, washing sinks are not available all the time. Hand sanitizers keep germs at bay when soap and water are absent. Hand sanitizers are either alcohol-based or alcohol-free. Alcohol-based sanitizers contain 60-90% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol Although both alcohols have antimicrobial properties when diluted in water, they have significant differences in their properties. This article explains the difference between the two alcohols regarding their antimicrobial properties, effectiveness, and safety to the skin. Let’s get started with the Ethyl Alcohol Vs Isopropyl Alcohol comparison; Is Ethyl Alcohol…

Alcohols are organic compounds with one or more hydroxyl groups attached to a hydrocarbon chain. They have various uses at home and in industries as disinfectants, preservatives, solvents, and fuel additives. Our particular interest is in comparing two alcohols; Denatured alcohol vs rubbing alcohol. This article aims to explain the difference between the two alcohols and how they are used at home and in industrial settings; What Is Heptane? Denatured alcohol is pure ethanol that has been adulterated with denaturants to make it unfit foul-smelling poisonous, and discourage people from consuming it for leisure. 10% methyl alcohol is the most…
