<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Properties">Properties</h2></div>

<p>The very lightest, most volatile liquid hydrocarbon solvents that can be bought from laboratory chemical suppliers may also be offered under the name petroleum ether. Petroleum ether consists mainly of aliphatic hydrocarbons and is usually low in <a href="Aromatics" class="mw-redirect" title="Aromatics">aromatics</a>. It is commonly <a href="Hydrodesulfurized" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrodesulfurized">hydrodesulfurized</a> and may be <a href="Hydrogenate" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrogenate">hydrogenated</a> to reduce the amount of aromatic and other <a href="Saturated_and_unsaturated_compounds" title="Saturated and unsaturated compounds">unsaturated</a> hydrocarbons. Petroleum ether bears normally a descriptive suffix giving the boiling range. Thus, from the leading international laboratory chemical suppliers it is possible to buy various petroleum ethers with boiling ranges such as 30–50&nbsp;°C, 40–60&nbsp;°C, 50–70&nbsp;°C, 60–80&nbsp;°C, etc. In the United States, <a href="Chemical_purity" title="Chemical purity">laboratory-grade</a> aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents with boiling ranges as high as 100–140&nbsp;°C may be called petroleum ether, rather than petroleum spirit.<sup id="cite_ref-phenix_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-phenix-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>It is not advisable to employ a fraction with a wider boiling point range than 20&nbsp;°C, because of possible loss of the more volatile portion during its use in recrystallisation, etc., and consequent different solubilising properties of the higher boiling residue.<sup id="cite_ref-vogel_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vogel-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Most of the unsaturated hydrocarbons may be removed by shaking two or three times with 10% of the volume worth of concentrated <a href="Sulfuric_acid" title="Sulfuric acid">sulfuric acid</a>; vigorous shaking is then continued with successive portions of a concentrated solution of <a href="Potassium_permanganate" title="Potassium permanganate">potassium permanganate</a> in 10% sulfuric acid until the color of the permanganate remains unchanged. The solvent is then thoroughly washed with <a href="Sodium_carbonate" title="Sodium carbonate">sodium carbonate</a> solution and then with water, dried over anhydrous <a href="Calcium_chloride" title="Calcium chloride">calcium chloride</a>, and distilled. If required perfectly dry, it can be allowed to stand over <a href="Sodium" title="Sodium">sodium</a> wire, or <a href="Calcium_hydride" title="Calcium hydride">calcium hydride</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-vogel_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vogel-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Oral ingestion of hydrocarbons often is associated with symptoms of mucous membrane irritation, vomiting, and central nervous system depression. Cyanosis, tachycardia, and tachypnea may appear as a result of aspiration, with subsequent development of <a href="Chemical_pneumonitis" title="Chemical pneumonitis">chemical pneumonitis</a>. Other clinical findings include albuminuria, hematuria, hepatic enzyme derangement, and cardiac arrhythmias. Doses as low as 10 ml orally have been reported to be potentially fatal, whereas some patients have survived the ingestion of 60 ml of petroleum distillates. A history of coughing or choking in association with vomiting strongly suggests aspiration and hydrocarbon pneumonia. <a href="Hydrocarbon_pneumonia" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrocarbon pneumonia">Hydrocarbon pneumonia</a> is an acute hemorrhagic necrotizing disease that can develop within 24 h after the ingestion.
