Log P value
[edit]The value 7.13 provided in the article does not fit with the linear trend of all previous alkane chains on to hexadecane found on previous articles in the series. It seems it should be closer to 8.345. This may indicate that all of the previous values were generated with a linear fit, and that this value of 7.13 is derived from a different source. This linear fit is dubious for increasingly large compounds.
The uses of Pentadecane
[edit]Yes, we know now what Pentadecane is, should we not also know what it is used for? Please, add this info for us unenlightened ones. Dieter Simon 22:47, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit]What does the " oil of D. guineense fruit" smell like? 24.27.81.133 (talk) 21:07, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Ocean cycle
[edit][1] Cyanobacteria in the ocean combine sunlight and co2 to produce pentadecane, that is then consumed by other bacteria and archea in the ocean. This cycle far larger than other hydrocarbon sources in the oceans such as oil spills, but stays in balance. Maybe this is usable in the article: I'll leave it here. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
