Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question.
Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.

Is the main use for alkenes fuel?
Yes, Alkenes are used for fuels - as they are one of our organic compounds in society. For example, fuel can be used for cooking and petrol.
What do methane octane butane have in common?
All these are saturated hydrocarbons of Alkane family.
Why would we not crack octane industrially?
Octane is very useful the way it comes, and the lower alkanes you could crack octane into are plentiful. Cracking is a good technique for converting bitumen into an alkane that fuel can be made from, but you can make fuel (specifically gasoline) from octane.
What is the name of this process c8h18- alkane an alkene?
C8H18 is an alkane because it is a saturated hydrocarbon. You can work it out by using the equation CnH2n+2 and if that works then its an alkane.The name of the reaction is "splitting" the octane, or "catalytic splitting" (bacause a catalyst is usually required to make the reaction happen).e.g. C8H18--> C5H12+ C3H6
Is ethanol and octane the same thing?
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...

Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
What is additive in fuel?
Some additives I know of Ethyl methyl lead (octane booster and upper cylinder lube) Methyl Benzene (octane booster)
What do methane octane butane have in common?
All these are saturated hydrocarbons of Alkane family.
What is octane?
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.

Which has higher boiling point aldehyde or ketone?
the alkanes are saturated and contains more atoms so therefore contain more electrons this results in stronger dispersion forces the alkenes and unsaturated contain less atoms less electrons weaker dispersion force compared to the alkane
What is the name of the unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms?
The fourth of the methane series. Methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, ... Fourth is butane, like in a bic lighter.
Five members of alkane family?
11. Undecane 12. Dodecane 13. Tridecane 14. Tetradecane 15. Pentadecane 16. Hexadecane 17. Heptadecane 18. Octadeane 19. Nonadecane 20. Hemicosane
What does alcohol do in gasoline?
The level of interest in using alcohol as a motor fuel has followed cycles of fuel shortages and/or low feed-grain prices.Alcohols burn more completely, thus increasing combustion efficiency.There are many disadvantages to using alcohols, particularly methyl and ethyl alcohol.Advantages of mixing alcohol with gasoline are that alcohol tends to increase the octane rating and reduce carbon monoxide emissions.Alcohols may corrode certain materials used in engines.Alcohol has been used as a fuel for internal combustion engines since their invention. Reports on the use of alcohol as a motor fuel were published in 1907 and detailed research was conducted in the 1920s and 1930s. Historically, the level of interest in using alcohol as a motor fuel has followed cycles of fuel shortages and/or low feed-grain prices.The properties of methyl, ethyl and butyl alcohol are compared with octane (high quality gasoline) and hexadecane (high quality diesel fuel) in Table 1. Note that octane and hexadecane (petroleum fuels) have higher boiling points, lower latent heats and are insoluble in water. The alcohols become more like petroleum fuels as their chemical weights increase.Methyl alcohol has the lowest combustion energy of all the fuels listed. However, it also has the lowest stoichiometric or chemically correct air-fuel ratio. Therefore, an engine burning methyl alcohol would produce the most power. It also is possible to take advantage of the higher octane ratings of methyl (and ethyl) alcohol and increase the engine compression ratio. This would increase the efficiency of converting the potential combustion energy to power. Finally, alcohols burn more completely, thus increasing combustion efficiency.
How is petrol separated from crude oil?
By fractional distillation. It distils off as octane. However, octane is a straight chain alkane. So to make octane combust/burn more efficiently, octane is then 'reformed' into petrol .
What is the chemical name for cokE?
The chemical name is methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3- (benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octane-2-carboxylate; don't use, is dangerous !
