Hydrocarbon melts

I ichtcr and Kals.= bowevi-r, consider that the hydrocarbon is a seaqnitcrpeno I ljEIai. which is probably a-cikryophyllcQO. A aniall quantity of a mixture of paraffin hydrocarbons melting at Sfi° In 66° is also present in the oil. 

Paraffin par-3-fsn [Gr, fr. Lparumtoo little (akin to Gk pauros little, paid-, pais child) -1- affinis bordering on] (1838) n. (1) A Syn alkane. (2) A colorless, translucent wax obtained from petroleum-refining residues, a mixture of most saturated, straight-chain hydrocarbons melting between 49 and 63°C. (3) In Britain and its former possessions, kerosene. 

Decomposition is generally observed as a broad exothermic peak. However, variations in experimental conditions can alter the nature of the decomposition. In any case, the decomposition is easily determined by visually inspecting the sample after analysis. Repetition of DSC mns in a sample that has decomposed gives different thermograms than those obtained before the decomposition temperature was reached. In the case of anhydrous sodium dioctylphosphinate, the hydrocarbon melting peak at 56°C was not detected in a second run after the decomposition temperature (77°C) had been reached [55],... 

When a sample of a pure hydrocarbon (melting point 85 °C) cools, the temperature is observed to remain constant as it solidifies. Which statement accounts for this observation ... 

In many systems of importance, hydrocarbon melts, polymers, lipid bilayers, internal rotation and vibration are important in determining equilibrium and dynamical properties. In the early simulation of N2 and CO, atoms were attached by a stiff spring [53],...
