Pentane is a hydrocarbon that sees extensive use in research environments, particularly as a non-polar solvent in materials science and organic chemistry. Due to its low boiling point, pentane is ideal for use in liquid chromatography and as a medium for conducting reactions at reduced temperatures. It is also employed in the calibration of thermometers and in low-temperature physics experiments where a stable and easily vaporizable substance is required. In addition, pentane serves as a reference compound in studies of hydrophobic interactions and is frequently utilized in the extraction of oils and fats due to its lipophilic nature. Moreover, pentane′s volatility makes it a standard choice for researchers studying vapor pressure and its related thermodynamic properties.
