C29H58
C29H58 is a chemical compound known as nonacosane, which is a type of alkane. It consists of 29 carbon atoms and 58 hydrogen atoms, making it a long-chain hydrocarbon. Nonacosane is typically found in natural sources such as certain plant waxes and is used in various industrial applications, including the production of lubricants and coatings.
As a solid at room temperature, nonacosane has a high melting point and is insoluble in water. It is part of a larger group of compounds called alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons characterized by single bonds between carbon atoms. Nonacosane is also studied for its potential uses in biofuels and other renewable energy sources.
