Toluen

C7H8 is the chemical formula for toluene. This means that each molecule of toluene consists of:

• 7 carbon atoms (C)
• 8 hydrogen atoms (H)

Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, which means it has a benzene ring (C6H6) as its basic structure. A methyl group (-CH3) is attached to one of the carbon atoms in the benzene ring.

Thus, the structure of toluene can be described as:

• A benzene ring, consisting of six carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms.
• An additional methyl group (-CH3) attached to one of these carbon atoms.

Structural formula
The structural formula for toluene can be written as C6H5-CH3.

Here, "C6H5" represents the benzene ring (six carbon atoms, each bonded to a hydrogen atom), and "-CH3" represents the methyl group, which is an additional carbon atom bonded to a hydrogen.

Quick facts about toluene:

• Molecular formula: C7H8

• Physical properties: Colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. Flammable and volatile.
• Applications: Solvent, raw material in the chemical industry (production of styrene, benzene, etc.), fuel additive.

 

Toluene can be supplied in bulk, IBC, drums, and cans.
