Heptane is a common single chain nonpolar organic solvent. Heptane, a colorless and flammable liquid with a strong odor, is an aliphatic hydrocarbon represented by the chemical formula C7H16. It serves as a versatile solvent in industrial applications. As a nonpolar compound, heptane effectively dissolves organic compounds without interacting with them. Its highly flammable nature makes it ideal for fueling high-performance mechanical machines.
