Hexane is an isomeric mixture of hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms per molecule, with the molecular formula C6H14. The isomeric mixture of hexane is composed of several isomers, including n-hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, and 2,2-dimethylbutane, among others. The ratio of each isomer in the mixture can vary depending on the source and production method.

Hexane is a clear, colourless, and highly flammable liquid with a low boiling point of 69°C. It is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. The physical and chemical properties of each isomer in the hexane mixture may vary, but the overall properties of the mixture are similar to those of pure n-hexane.

Hexane is commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications, such as in the extraction of vegetable oils from crops like soybeans, corn, and peanuts. It is also used as a solvent in the production of adhesives, coatings, and other industrial products.

In addition to its industrial uses, hexane is also used as a laboratory reagent for organic synthesis and other chemical reactions. It is often used as a reference compound in gas chromatography, where it is used to identify and quantify other hydrocarbons in complex mixtures.

However, it is important to note that hexane is a highly flammable and volatile substance, and proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and storing it. Prolonged exposure to hexane vapours can also cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, so appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
