Definition of pentane in English:

pentane

noun ˈpɛnteɪnˈpɛnteɪn

mass nounChemistry

A volatile liquid hydrocarbon of the alkane series, present in petroleum spirit.
〔化〕戊烷
Chemical formula: C₅H₁₂; three isomers, especially the straight-chain isomer (n-pentane)
Example sentencesExamples
- After thawing, the volatile components were extracted three times with 50 ml pentane.
- Like pentane, paraffins are alkanes - hydrocarbon molecules that have as many hydrogen atoms as the molecule's carbon backbone can accommodate.
- Acetone-free polish removers contain safer fruit-derived solvents like ethyl acetate and methyl pentane.
- Extra chemical agents are usually added to the solution: detergents such as octyl thioglucoside, octyl glucoside, octyl glucopyranoside, organic solvents such as pentane, hexane, or other chemicals such as glucose or glycerol.
- The pentane molecule, however, has neither hydrogen bonding nor polar groups to be attracted to water molecules.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek pente 'five' (denoting five carbon atoms) + a shortened form of alkane.
