Composed of two chlorine atoms and a benzene ring, p-Dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2) presents a molecular weight of 147.00 g/mol. It boasts a density of 1.2475 g/cm³ at 25 °C, making it denser than water. It has a boiling point of 173.9 °C and a melting point of 53 °C. Due to its low solubility in water, which is less than 1 mg/mL at ambient conditions, considerations for extraction processes requiring higher solubility should be evaluated. When ordering, specify the chemical's purity and desired quantities as it is available in various industrial grades.
