CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF TETRADECANE:
Tetradecane, C14H30, is a colorless liquid with moderate explosive potential and specific gravity 0.763.
Tetradecane occurs naturally in crude oil and in chickpea seeds, nectarines, and kiwi-fruit flowers.
Tetradecane may be released to the environment during its production and use, in the exhaust of motor vehicles, and in the effluent of landfills and industrial processes.
FUNCTION OF TETRADECANE:
-perfuming
PRODUCTION METHOD OF TETRADECANE:
Tetradecane is isolated from kerosene and gas oil fractions of crude oil by selective adsorption followed by fractional distillation.
REACTIVITY PROFILE:
Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as Tetradecane, may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid.
Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles.
In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive.
They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents.
When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, they burn exothermically to produce carbon dioxide and water.
