"A pentane"

[edit]

This eupione, was a mixture of pentanes maybe. But the boiling point does not fit. If the boiling point is correct, the eupione is likely a mixture of octanes to decanes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.221.226.73 (talk) 16:56, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the boiling point is *way* wrong, it is none of the isomeric pentanes (the highest boiling point is only 36°C).
Probably safest just to remove "probably a pentane, C5H12," totally.
Given the way it is made (pyrolysis), it is going to be a fearsome mixture, not just a single substance.
I'm sorry someone found C10H15 - ChemSpider lists quite a few weird entities with this formula - only 15H's indicates crazy unsaturation/cyclic structures. Bobgid (talk) 12:12, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to "A Manual of Elementary Chemistry: Theoretical and Practical," Eupione is made of 10 Carbons and 15 Hydrogens.
