The link to fluid properties in webbook.nist.gov/chemistry should be made. Comments on colour, odor and provenance should also be made. Common uses as well as history.
Add a link to the korean physical properties database and comment on the differences between n-pentane, isopentane and cyclopentane.
Trying to think of something to say about this drab little molecule.

Where I am, ambient temperature is ~ 30 °C so we usually use hexane. But we had some exchange people from Germany who liked to use it instead of hexane for usual laboratory tasks like wiping ground glass joints to remove grease. I've used it (following a literature procedure) for liquid-liquid extraction before, but that's about it. -- Rifleman 82 09:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Lower boiling point maks it convenient if you extract something with a low boiling point. And it is better for deep temperature mixtures than hexane.-- Stone 12:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The words "unfunctionalized" and "functionality" are used in the section on Uses, and the latter is linked, but the link doesn't give you any information about the use of functionality in the context of hydrocarbons.

"Pentane is any or one of the organic compounds with the formula C5H12."
Source: none at the moment, there was an article on NASA's web site I have read recently. 212.188.108.213 ( talk) 19:39, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I am very surprised about user Smokefoot undoing my changes - especially stating that he undid them as they were added because they are "probably" true. Does anyone want to challenge that pentanes (like other hydrocarbons) are largely unreactive? Also hydrocarbons do no do chlorination reaction with themselves, so what is this "with" in "as with other hydrocarbons"? And can someone please bring a source for pentane being used as feedstock (not "substrate" in any case!) for maleic anhydride if this is what the article wants to claim ? 109.154.5.169 ( talk) 10:39, 15 July 2012 (UTC).
