Aldehydes flammable range

There are seven hydrocarbon-derivative families whose primary hazard is flammability (see Chapter 2, Figure 2.63) alkyl halide, amine, ether, alcohol, ketone, aldehyde, and ester. The alkyl halides, amines, and ethers are nonpolar. The ethers, alcohols, and aldehydes are polar and have wide flammable ranges. Some organic acids are flammable inorganic acids do not bum. However, flammability is not the primary hazard of most organic acids. They will be discussed in detail in Chapter 10.

Butyraldehyde, also known as butanal, is a water-white liquid with a pungent aldehyde odor. Butyraldehyde is a dangerous fire risk, with a flammable range of 2.5 to 12.5% in air. The boiling point is 168°F, the flash point is lOT, and the ignition temperature is 446°F. It is slightly soluble in water, with a specific gravity...
