n-octane

Octane is an alkane with the molecular formula C₈H₁₈.

Critical properties[edit]

The pressure, temperature and density at the critical point have been calculated for a virial equation of state using the TraPPE-UA force field, and are given in Table I of ^[1].

Virial coefficients[edit]

The virial coefficients $B_{2}$ - $B_{5}$ as a function of temperature for the TraPPE-UA force field have been tabulated by Schultz and Kofke ^[2].
