3-ethylpentane is a branched hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C8H18. It is formed by the combination of a pentane molecule with an ethyl group (-C2H5) attached to the third carbon of the chain. The compound has a molar mass of 114.23 g/mol and a boiling point of 103°C.
3-ethylpentane is a colorless and odorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and ether. It is commonly used as a fuel in internal combustion engines due to its high octane rating, which indicates its resistance to engine knocking.
The combustion of 3-ethylpentane produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other pollutants, making it contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, efforts are being made to develop alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly.
