Hexanal, or hexanaldehyde, is an alkyl aldehyde used in the flavor industry to produce fruity flavors. The melting point of a solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to Liquid. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the Vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly An alkyl is a Univalent radical consisting of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms arranged in a chain An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal Carbonyl group.
