On the relationship between hexane, ethyl acetate and melting point
The melting point is the most important. Today, when discussing hexane and ethyl acetate, their properties are different and their melting points are also different.
Hexane, hydrocarbons, also have a straight chain structure. The molecules are linked by a weak van der Waals force, so their melting point is low. At room temperature, they are mostly liquid and gradually condense when cooled. The melting point is located because the molecular arrangement is scattered and whole, and the energy changes.
Ethyl acetate, a genus of esters, contains carbonyl and ethoxy groups in its structure. Its intermolecular force is stronger than that of hexane, which not only has van der Waals force, but also has a certain hydrogen bonding effect. The melting point is slightly higher than that of hexane.
Compared with the two, the structure is different, resulting in different intermolecular forces, and the melting point is also different. Looking at the mixing of various substances, hexane and ethyl acetate are mixed, or due to mutual dissolution, the molecular arrangement of each other is affected, and the melting point changes. If the proportions are different, the melting point changes are also different. When carefully observed, in order to make sense of it, it is of great use in chemical industry and scientific research. It can help the selection of materials and the control of the process, so that everything can be successful and made the best use of.
