What is the molar mass of cyclohexane?

By Forinfos - 29/12/2025 - 0 comments

Cyclohexane has a molar mass of 84.16 grams ('molar mass' refers to the weight of one mole [6.02 x 10^23 molecules] of a substance). It is a colorless liquid cycloalkane substance with the molecular formula (CH2)6 and a strong odor similar to cleaning detergents.

Nearly all cyclohexane is produced artificially, as it is difficult to obtain naturally. It can be produced by hydrogenating benzene to create an exothermic reaction with cyclohexane as a byproduct. Cyclohexane is nonpolar, hydrophobic and relatively inert, though it does reacts with superacids. Cyclohexane is most commonly used as a solvent or to produce the raw materials used in industrial nylon production.
