How much water is produced while burning one gallon of gasoline?
Burning 1 gallon of gasoline produces 1.52 gallons of water. How this is calculated:1 gallon of gasoline weights 8.66lbs, of which 1.4 lbs is Hydrogen, as gasoline contains 16% Hydrogen and 84% carbon by weight.This assumes gasoline has the chemical formula of C8H18, the same as Octane.Water is 11% Hydrogen and 89% Oxygen by weight. One gallon of water weights 8.35lbs, and contains .92 lbs of Hydrogen, and 7.43 lbs of oxygen.Therefore since hydrogen burned or in, equals hydrogen out after combustion, therefore 1.4 lbs of hydrogen burned, equals 1.4 lbs of hydrogen in the H20 or water created in combustion. By weight, 1.4 lbs of hydrogen divided by the weight of .92 lbs of hydrogen in water, equals 1.52. So 1.4 lbs of hydrogen in 1 gallon of gasoline, is converted to more gallons of water because gasoline contains more hydrogen per gallon, then does water.
What are the gases produced while you burn leaves?

How does the rockets work when gasoline finished?
Rockets do not use gasoline, it burns too slow. Model rockets use a fast burning solid pellet. -When the pellet is finished burning the rocket will coast for a while before turning and falling to earth, or ejecting it's parachute if equipped.
Which gas is produced while burning thermocol?
When the combustion is complete 99 % of polystyrene is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.
What happen if you fuel small amount of diesel instead of gasoline in gasoline car?
if it is only a small amount of diesel (say no more than a gallon) them all you have to do is fill the take right up to the brim with gasoline, it may have a small misfire while it runs the diesel through the system as it will have a much lower octane, If there is quite a bit of diesel in there (anymore than a gallon) then I would recommend draining the tank somehow before filling it up with gasoline
What is the difference in weight between gallon of water and gallon of gasoline?
Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.
A motorist travels 523 miles while using 16.2 gallons of gasoline. Find the gasoline consumption in miles per gallon to one decimal place.?
523 miles: 16.2 gallons of gasoline1 mile: 523/16.2 or 32.3 gallons of gasoline. (32.28...≈ 32.3, because 8 > 5)

What gasses are produced while burning charcoal?
Sulphur Dioxide and then that often mixes with water vapoud to produce Suphuric Acid (Acid Rain)
What would be the cost for gasoline if you traveled 800 miles and gas cost 1.80 per gallon while your car gets twenty-two miles to the gallon?
Answer: $ 65.45 Here is why: 800 miles X 1 gallon/22 miles gives us 36.36 gallons of gas used for the trip Now multiply that by 1.80 dollars/gallon and we have 65.45 dollars
