Nonaneis a linearalkanehydrocarbonwith thechemical formulaC9H20.It is a colorless, flammable liquid, occurring primarily in the component of thepetroleum distillate fractioncommonly calledkerosene,which is used as a heating,tractor,andjet fuel.[4]Nonane is also used as asolvent,distillation chaser,fuel additive,and a component inbiodegradabledetergents.[5]

Nonane has 35structural isomers.

Itssubstituentform isnonyl.Itscycloalkanecounterpart iscyclononane,(C9H18).

Unlike most alkanes, the numeric prefix in its name is fromLatin,notGreek.(A name using a Greek prefix would beenneane.)

Combustion reactions

[edit]

Nonane undergoescombustionreactions that are similar to otheralkanes.In the presence of sufficient oxygen, nonane burns to formwaterandcarbon dioxide.

C9H20+ 14O2→ 9CO2+ 10H2O

When insufficient oxygen is available for complete combustion, the burning products includecarbon monoxide.

2C9H20+ 19O2→ 18CO+ 20H2O
