Yes, depending on the criteria for toxicity. Like most other low-molecular weight aromatics, xylenes are moderate health hazards. While pure xylenes are not carcinogens or teratogens, commercial "mixed xylenes" contain approximately 20% ethylbenzene, which is considered to be concinogenic. However, xylenes are not "toxic," i.e. a poison, in a transportation sense and are regulated as "flammable liquids" in the USA by DOT, through the air by ICAO, and on the water by IMO.
What else can I help you with?
Can chloroform be used instead of toluene or xylene?
No, chloroform is not typically used as a substitute for toluene or xylene. Chloroform has different chemical properties and is not as commonly used as a solvent in the same applications as toluene or xylene. Additionally, chloroform is more toxic and poses greater health and environmental risks compared to toluene and xylene.
Why remove Xylene from permanent markers?
Xylene is a toxic substance that can be harmful to humans if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Removing xylene from permanent markers helps reduce the health risks associated with using these markers, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Additionally, using alternative, less toxic ingredients in markers can make them safer for both consumers and the environment.
Which type of isomers are o-xylene m-xylene and p-xylene?
o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene are positional isomers, meaning they have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the substituent groups on the benzene ring.
Is xylene an element or compound?
Xylene is a compound. It is a mixture of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
Is KCl soluble in xylene?
Potassium chloride is not soluble in xylene.

Is xylene an element or compound?
Xylene is a compound. It is a mixture of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
How many types of xylene are?
There are three main types of xylene: ortho-xylene (o-xylene), meta-xylene (m-xylene), and para-xylene (p-xylene). These are isomers of each other, meaning they have the same chemical formula but their atoms are arranged in different ways.
Does ethanol and xylene form azetrope?
Ethanol+Water+p-Xylene is an Azeotropic mixture ------------ For p-xylene, zeotropic, but for x-xylene, contradictory results. Please see the links.
What is the formula of xylene?
Basic equation for xylene is C8H10.Xylene is di-methyl benzene and comes in three different forms (isomers) :1,2-dimethylbenzene also called orthoxylene sometime shortened to o-xylene1,3-dimethylbenzene also called metaxylene sometimes shortened to m-xyleneand1,4-dimethylbenzene also called paraxylene sometimes shortened to p-xylene
Which one is more polar o-xylene or p-xylene?
Neither!
Will xylene melt plastic?
Yes, xylene can melt certain types of plastic.
How do you convert 1liter of xylene into 1kg?
To convert 1 liter of xylene to 1 kg, you would need to know the density of xylene. Assuming the density is around 0.87 g/cm^3, 1 liter of xylene would weigh approximately 870 grams (0.87 kg). To reach 1 kg, you would need around 1.15 liters of xylene.
Is KCl soluble in xylene?
Potassium chloride is not soluble in xylene.
