n-Hexane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C6H14. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a slight odor that is commonly used as a solvent and as a raw material in the production of gasoline. In its pure form, n-hexane is highly volatile and can be easily ignited, so it is important to handle it with care.
