no
it is organic
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.
Xylene is a ring of hydrocarbons, with some secondary structures attached like branches. The location of the branches on the main ring change depending on the specific type of xylene.
Probably the easiest way is to take an NMR and look at the aromatic region (7-8 chemical shift). p-xylene has 4 equivalent aromatic protons (giving only 1 peak in the 7-8 region), but o-xylene has two pairs of equivalent protons (giving 2 peaks in the 7-8 region).
The azeotrope concentration of a water-xylene system is approximately 71.4% xylene and 28.6% water by weight at a temperature of 73.5 degrees Celsius. This azeotrope forms when the vapor and liquid phases have the same composition, making it difficult to separate the two components by distillation.
Xylene is used in the Dean and Stark method to help separate water from the crude oil sample. When the mixture of crude oil and xylene is heated, the water present in the sample is distilled over, making it easier to quantify the water content accurately. Xylene helps to enhance the separation of water from the crude oil during the distillation process.

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.
Xylene is a compound. It is a mixture of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbons: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene.
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.
Ethanol+Water+p-Xylene is an Azeotropic mixture ------------ For p-xylene, zeotropic, but for x-xylene, contradictory results. Please see the links.
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
Neither!
Yes, xylene can melt certain types of plastic.
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.
Potassium chloride is not soluble in xylene.
Dibutyl Phathalate Xylene
There are about 7.5 pounds in a gallon of para-xylene.
