Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C6H6.

Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached

to each carbon atom. Because its molecules contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms,

 benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.

Benzene is a natural constituent of  crude oil, and is one of the most

elementary petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbonand the second n!"

annulene #6!"annulene$, a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes

abbre%iated &h 'H. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable li(uid with a sweet smell. It

is mainly used as a precursor to hea%y chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene, which

are produced on a billion )ilogram scale. Because it has a high octane number , it is an

important component of gasoline, comprising a few percent of its mass. *ost non"industrial

applications ha%e been limited by benzene+scarcinogenicity.

Benzene is used mainly as an intermediate to ma)e other chemicals, abo%e

all ethylbenzene, cumene, cycloheane, nitrobenzene, and al)ylbenzene. *ore than half of

the entire benzene production is processed into ethylbenzene, a precursor to styrene, which is

used to ma)e polymers and plastics li)e polystyrene and -&. ome /0 of the benzene

 production is used to manufacture cumene, which is needed to produce phenol and acetone

for resins and adhesi%es. Cycloheane consumes ca. 10 of the world+s benzene production2

it is primarily used in the manufacture of nylon fibers, which are processed into tetiles and

engineering plastics. maller amounts of benzene are used to ma)e some types

of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, eplosi%es, and pesticides.

;escribing properties #B-56A gr4.benzene has melting point of

A,A90C 2 boiling point of ?0,10C and flash point of ' 11,690C. 7t 100C, the %iscosity of

 benzene is 0,>A/? c&. If the temperature is different so the %iscosity will be different too.

Beacause temperature influences the %iscosity. Benzene is soluble in water , alcohol, CHCl9, 

CCl8, diethyl ether ,  acetone, and acetic acid.

Benzene can be used as an intermediate to ma)e other chemicals, li)e  ethylbenzene,

cumene,  cycloheane,  nitrobenzene, and al)ylbenzene. -thylbenzene which is from benzene

can be used to ma)e plastic and polymers such as polystryene. Cumene from benzene can be

used to ma)e phenol and acetone. =hese li(uids then are used to produce resins and

adhesi%es. Beside that benzene is an important component in gasoline because it has

high octane number or it can be said as ctane Booster.
