Dimethyl ether has several properties. Looking at its physical properties, at room temperature and pressure, dimethyl ether is gaseous, colorless and has an ether-like fragrance. Its boiling point is quite low, about -24.9 ° C. This characteristic makes it easy to gasify at room temperature, and quickly turn into gas when heated, which is easy to volatilize. And the melting point is also low, about -141.5 ° C, so it is solid in extremely cold environments.
Its density is slightly heavier than air, about 1.617kg/m ³, so in a limited space, if dimethyl ether leaks, it is easy to concentrate near the ground. However, its solubility is different, soluble in water, and soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, acetone, etc. Due to the polar molecular structure of dimethyl ether, it has good miscibility with many polar solvents.
Furthermore, the ignition point of dimethyl ether is about 235 ° C. At this temperature, it can be burned when exposed to fire sources, making it flammable. When it burns, the flame is light blue, and the combustion products are mostly carbon dioxide and water. It is relatively clean and free of heavy pollution such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. It is environmentally friendly and beneficial, and can be regarded as one of the clean energy sources.
The vapor and air of dimethyl ether can form an explosive mixture, and the explosion limit is about 3.4% - 17.0% (volume fraction). In this concentration range, in case of open flame and high heat energy ignition and explosion, there is a great risk of safety. Therefore, when storing, transporting and using dimethyl ether, it is necessary to strictly follow safety procedures to prevent accidents.

2-% methylpentane, which is an alkane compound. Looking at its chemical properties, it has alkane commonality.
First of all, its stability, under general conditions, 2-methylpentane is quite stable, difficult to react with strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidants. It covers its carbon-carbon single bond and carbon-hydrogen bond energy is quite high, and the structure is relatively stable. For example, in normal room temperature and atmospheric environment, it can survive for a long time without obvious change.
Second and combustion characteristics, 2-methylpentane is flammable, burns under sufficient oxygen to generate carbon dioxide and water, and releases a lot of heat energy. The combustion reaction equation is roughly:\ (C_ {6} H_ {14} +\ frac {19} {2} O_ {2}\ stackrel {ignited }{=\!=\!=} 6CO_ {2} + 7H_ {2} O\). This property makes it can be used as a fuel and has certain uses in the energy field.
Furthermore, it is a substitution reaction. Although 2-methylpentane is stable, it can be replaced under certain conditions, such as light or high temperature, and when halogen elements are present. The hydrogen atom in the molecule can be gradually replaced by halogen atom. If it reacts with chlorine under light, chlorine atoms will replace the hydrogen atoms in its molecules to form a variety of chlorinated compounds such as 2-methyl-1-chloropentane and 2-methyl-2-chloropentane.
also has thermal cracking properties. When the temperature is high enough, the carbon-carbon bond in the 2-methyl-pentane molecule will break, and a thermal cracking reaction will occur, resulting in the formation of small molecules of olefins, alkanes and other compounds. This reaction is of great significance in petrochemical production, and can be used to obtain many basic chemical raw materials.

2-% methylpyridine is an organic compound, and there are many ways to prepare it. Although the preparation of this compound is not detailed in "Tiangong Kaiji", I can describe the preparation method in the form of ancient Chinese words according to the ancient chemical process ideas and current chemical knowledge.
First, it can be obtained by condensation and cyclization of aldodes and ammonia. If acaldehyde and ammonia are used as raw materials, under appropriate catalysts and conditions, the reaction is as follows: Acrylic (C 🥰 H 🥰 O) and ammonia (NH 🥰), in a special ceramic kettle, with kaolin or special ore powder as catalyst, are moderately heated to maintain the temperature in the kettle at a specific range. The double bond of acrylic aldehyde is active, and the nitrogen atom of ammonia has a lone pair of electrons. The two interact. First, through a condensation reaction, a chain of nitrogen-containing intermediates is formed, and then cyclization occurs. After complex processes such as rearrangement, the final product is 2-% methyl pyridine. This process requires fine temperature control and the observation of slight changes in the temperature. For example, in ancient alchemy, the loss of the millimeter is a thousand miles.
Second, it can be separated and extracted from coal tar. Coal tar is a by-product of coal dry distillation, which contains many organic components. First, the coal tar is filled in a special copper kettle, placed on the stove, and boiled slowly. When it boils, according to the difference in the boiling points of each component, the steam is guided by a condenser to make the steam cold and liquefied, and fractionated to collect fractions in different boiling point ranges. The boiling point of 2-% methylpyridine is specific. During this process, the properties and temperature changes of the distillate are carefully observed. For example, fishermen observe the direction of water flow and wind to accurately collect the fraction containing 2-% methylpyridine. After distillation and other processes, its impurities are removed and purified to obtain pure 2-% methylpyridine.
Third, pyridine is used as raw material and prepared by methylation reaction. Pyridine (C H N) and methylating reagents, such as iodomethane (CH I) or dimethyl sulfate (CH) ³ SO), are placed in a sealed porcelain jar, and an appropriate amount of alkali is added as a catalyst, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium carbonate (Na CO). Seal the porcelain jar to prevent the escape of the reactants. If embankment is built for water, it must be tight and tight. In a warm environment, the methyl group of the methylating reagent (-CH) is transferred to the pyridine ring to form 2-% methylpyridine. After the reaction is completed, it is extracted with water or organic solvent, and then separated and purified by distillation.

2-% methylpyridine is a commonly used organic compound, which is used in many fields such as chemical industry and medicine. However, when using it, you should pay attention to the following things:
First, safety protection must not be forgotten. 2-% methylpyridine has certain toxicity and irritation, and may cause damage to the human body. In the place of use, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation to prevent the accumulation of steam. Operators should be equipped with appropriate protective equipment, such as protective glasses, gloves and gas masks, to avoid skin contact and inhalation. In case of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical attention according to the severity of the injury.
Second, storage conditions should be cautious. Store it in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources. Because of its flammability, it should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, etc., and should not be mixed. At the same time, the storage area should be equipped with suitable containment materials to deal with leakage conditions.
Third, the operation process should be standardized. When using, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating procedures to avoid open flames and hot topics to prevent combustion and explosion. During the use process, attention should be paid to accurate measurement to avoid waste and excessive use. Moreover, after the operation is completed, the equipment should be cleaned to prevent residual substances from affecting subsequent use.
Fourth, environmental awareness is indispensable. Improper disposal of 2-% methylpyridine may cause pollution to the environment. Therefore, the waste after use must be properly disposed of in accordance with relevant environmental protection regulations and cannot be discharged at will. In the experiment or production process, green chemical methods should be used as much as possible to reduce the harm to the environment.
In short, when using 2-% methylpyridine, safety, storage, operation and environmental protection should be paid attention to, so as to ensure the safety of the use process, while reducing the adverse effects on the human body and the environment.
