Pentane (C5H1 ) is a natural, organic compound that comes in a colorless liquid. It is naturally volatile, has a gas-like odor, and is similar to the chemical Butane. Pentane naturally occurs in crude oil and also a by-product of natural gas production. Uses of Pentane- 1. Laboratory Solvents- They are the most volatile liquid alkanes (at room temperature). Because of this, they are commonly used in laboratories as solvents. 2. Chromatography- Pentane is commonly used in chromatography - which is a laboratory technique to separate components in a mixture. The mixture is passed in a suspension or solution through a medium where the components each move at different rates. 3. Blowing Agent- Pentane is used as the primary blowing agent in the production of foams like polystyrene. 4.Binary Fluid- Because of its low boiling point, pentane is used in geothermal power stations as a binary fluid. 5.Industrial Ingredient Uses- Due to its ready availability and low cost, pentane is also used as a solvent in many common products like pesticides.
