Химические свойства

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Использование

Pentyl propionate, an ester, has been employed for the evaluation of experimental values of H^E_m and V^E_m at 318.15K for the binary mixtures of alkyl propanoates with alkanes.

Определение

ChEBI: A propanoate ester of pentan-1-ol.

Общее описание

Colorless liquid with an apple-like odor. Floats on water.

Профиль реактивности

N-PENTYL PROPIONATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire [USCG, 1999].

Угроза здоровью

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.

Пожароопасность

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.

Профиль безопасности

Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. An eye irritant. A flammable liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
