Tetradecane is a chemical compound from the group of higher alkanes , more precisely the tetradecanes .

Surname

The name is derived from the number fourteen .

Occurrence

Tetradecane is found in kerosene and gas oils.

properties

Tetradecane is a colorless, clear, little volatile, flammable, hardly inflammable liquid that is almost insoluble in water. The compound has a flash point of 110 ° C. The explosion range is between 0.5 vol.% (40 g / m 3 ) as the lower explosion limit (LEL) and 6.5 vol.% As the upper explosion limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 200 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T4.
