[edit] Query
Related compuonds - hexanes? Rich Farmbrough 21:27 4 May 2006 (UTC).
can i use hexane to clean Li will it react with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.40.46 (talk) 14:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- yes you can use hexane or other hydrocarbons to wash lithium without worrying about it reacting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.227.63.41 (talk) 18:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Received from OTRS
This is regarding the safety diamond on the hexane page.
1. The flash point of hexane is -23 degree centigrade and what the law says is if its less than 23 it should be 4 while the page shows its 3 2. The Blue health says "4. Very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury" so shouldn't it be 4 rather than 1? 3. The reactivity shows "0" which the article says "0. Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water". This, to out information is an explosive.

[edit] n-hexane?
Could someone please clarify what the difference is between n-hexane and hexane, if any, and what the "n" means? Is n-hexane a term that is inclusive of all the isomers? Does it refer exclusively to the straight-chain compound? Thanks. --Barefootmatt 22:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Matt, In my organic chem class im in, n-hexane refers to normal hexane. which is a way to refer to the unbranched isomer.
[edit] 5 Isomers??
There are more than 5 isomers of hexane, no? What about cyclohexane? What about 1-methyl-cyclopentane? There are a bunch of others. Someone either tell me I'm wrong, or correct the article, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayengar (talk • contribs) 16:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
