Isopentane vs Pentane – What’s the difference?
As nouns the difference between isopentane and pentane
is that isopentane is (organic compound) the aliphatic hydrocarbon ; isomeric with pentane and neopentane while pentane is (organic compound) an aliphatic hydrocarbon of chemical formula c5h12; either of the three isomers n-pentane, methyl-butane (isopentane), and di-methyl-propane (neopentane); volatile liquids under normal conditions.
Definitions of n-Pentane:
-CAS Number: 109-66-0. A clear, colorless solution with a mild, gasoline-like odor. It is used in natural gas, lighter fluid, blowtorch fuels, and aerosol propellants. Chemical formula = C5H12. Molecular weight = 72.15 g/mol.
-Pentane also known as amyl hydride or skellysolve is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)3CH3. 3 isomers exist for pentane: n-pentane (linear molecule), isopentane (2-methylbutane) and neopentane which is formally 2,2-dimethylpropane.
Definitions of Isopentane:
Isopentane, also called methylbutane or 2-methylbutane, is an organic chemical compound which is one of the three pentane isomers. Isopentane is a branched-chain alkane with five carbon atoms. Isopentane is an extremely volatile and extremely flammable liquid at room temperature and pressure. The normal boiling point is just a few degrees above room temperature and isopentane will readily boil and evaporate away on a warm day.
