2-Methyloctane

2-Methyloctane is a branched alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C9H20.

It is a colorless, flammable liquid 2-Methyloctane burns in the same way as other alkanes.

Where there is enough oxygen, nonane burns to form water and carbon dioxide, so 2-methyloctane would do the same.

When insufficient oxygen is present for complete combustion, carbon monoxide is produced.

NFPA 704 four-colored diamond Health 0: Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material. E.g. sodium chloride Flammability 3: Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions. Flash point between 23 and 38 °C (73 and 100 °F). E.g. gasoline Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
