Micro Method Determination of Boiling Point of Benzene (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0142-YJL)

Introduction

Benzene (C6H6) is the simplest organic, aromatic hydrocarbon and parent compound of numerous important aromatic compounds. Benzene is a colourless liquid with a characteristic odour and is primarily used in the production of polystyrene. It is highly toxic and is a known carcinogen; exposure to it may cause leukemia. As a result, there are strict controls on benzene emissions.<br />Benzene is a liquid at standard conditions. However, if heated it becomes a gas, and when cooled it becomes a solid.
