What does this mean ?[edit]

'This is particularly well known in automobiles, as branched alkanes will burn much more readily.'


Untitled[edit]

I would like to point out the irony of a Greenpeace link and a Shell link as the only two references on this article, both extolling the virtues of this hydrocarbon. Please note that Pennzane is a subsidiary of Shell.

C PENTANE[edit]

"C PENTANE" appears in large letters on the back of refrigerators in the United States. So I added this name to allow laypeople to find the correct chemical. Nick Beeson (talk) 18:30, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No Specific Use?[edit]

This article states that Cyclopentane has "no specific use" and "in principle, it could be used as a refrigerant", however cyclopentane is currently in use as a refrigerant in household ice machines. There should be a removal of 'no specific use'. 2A02:C7E:3212:B000:50E:A1E5:C0A5:50F1 (talk) 09:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I second this. I found this page because my new freezer uses it and I was wondering what it was. 149.137.167.204 (talk) 08:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
