Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Crystalline waxy solid. Insoluble in water. Used in organic synthesis. | [Reactivity Profile]
Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as N-TETRACOSANE(646-31-1), 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. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for this compound is not available,but N-TETRACOSANE is probably combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
