they are quite different.. ethanol is an alcohol ..C2H5-OH while octane is a hydrocarbon... C8H18 . octane is an important part of petrol . similarity is that , ethanol also may be used as petrol (in combination) it is also known as Bio- fuel...
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
No, Octane (C8H18) is not an elemental substance. It is a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Octane is not renewable because it is a hydrocarbon that can be distilled from petroleum. Since petroleum is a fossil fuel, octane is not renewable unless some scientist discovers an inexpensive way of synthesizing octane.
There is undoubtedly a big sign on a tall post within a mile of your home that shows you that there's no single answer to that question. Which hydrocarbon fuel are you talking about ? Unleaded 85-octane gasoline ? 110-octane premium gasoline ? Pure ethanol ? Diesel fuel ? Kerosene ? The big sign at the corner filling station shows plainly that the same amount of different hydrocarbon fuels has different prices. (And whatever it is here on this corner, it may be different on another corner a few blocks away.)
A commonly used flammable hydrocarbon gas is propane. It is commonly used for heating and cooking purposes.
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.
