N-Octane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C8H18, commonly found in gasoline. It is a colorless liquid that is highly volatile and flammable. N-Octane is used as a standard in determining the octane rating of fuels, which measures the fuel's ability to resist engine knocking. This property makes it crucial in the formulation of high-performance fuels. Besides its role in the energy sector, n-octane is used in chemical research and industrial applications. Proper handling and storage are necessary to avoid fire hazards and health risks associated with its vapors.
