Description

n-Tetradecane is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)12CH3. It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature. n-Tetradecane is found in petroleum and is a component of diesel fuel. It is also found in some plants and animals. n-Tetradecane is used as a solvent and as a component of fuels. It can be synthesized from various sources, including natural gas and petroleum. It is also found in some plant and animal oils. Research on n-tetradecane has focused on its potential use as a biofuel, its environmental impact, and its properties as a solvent. Studies on n-tetradecane are important for understanding its environmental fate, its potential use as a biofuel, and its impact on human health.'
