11. It is usually encountered as a colorless or pale yellow solution in hexanes . 12. It is then submerged in hexane and incubated for 18 to 24 hours. 13. Then petroleum-based hexane is added to dissolve out every bit of oil. 14. However, the empirical formula for hexane is. 15. The above chemical reaction is moles of sorbitol generate approximately 1 mole of hexane . 16. Coconut oil can be extracted using either mechanical expellers or solvents ( hexane ). 17. One that shows the most promise is the use of hexane as a solvent. 18. This process is done twice and the hexane from both dialysis periods is combined. 19. Hexane can cause nerve damage and paralysis.20. The costs of this extraction process are estimated to be much greater than hexane extraction.
