Heptane has the number 0, and the number assigned to isooctane is 100. These two materials are used to grade the octane rating of petroleum fuels.
This is called bracketing method.
The oxidation number of Iodine (I) in HIO2 is +3. This is because the sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral molecule must add up to zero, and since hydrogen is typically assigned an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, the oxidation number of Iodine is +3.
In a pure element, the oxidation number is zero. In a monatomic ion, the oxidation number is equal to the charge of the ion. Oxygen is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, unless in a peroxide where it is -1. Hydrogen is typically assigned an oxidation number of +1 when bonded to nonmetals and -1 when bonded to metals. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero, and in a polyatomic ion it is equal to the charge of the ion.
The amount of resistance that a fuel has to detonation. The higher the number, the less likely it is that a particular fuel will detonate in a particular engine. The number is as compared to a standard fuel (not necessarily gasoline)
66. Octane is C8H18. therefore the total number of electrons is 6*8 + 18*1
The oxidation number of carbon in ethane (C2H6) is -3. This is because hydrogen is assigned an oxidation number of +1, and since the molecule is neutral, the sum of the oxidation numbers must be zero.
n-heptane has a zero octane number because it is the reference fuel used to establish the octane rating scale. Its resistance to knocking is very poor, leading to a rating of zero on the scale. Other fuels are compared to n-heptane to determine their octane numbers.
The octane rating of methanol depends on the octane rating scale measurement type used, n-Heptane is the zero point of the octane rating scale then the octane rating of methanol is 115
Octane has not special application excepting the so-called octane number.
The oxidation number of Iodine (I) in HIO2 is +3. This is because the sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral molecule must add up to zero, and since hydrogen is typically assigned an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, the oxidation number of Iodine is +3.
The octane rating is a measure of the autoignition resistance of gasoline and other fuels used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. It is a measure of anti-detonation of a gasoline or fuel. Octane number is the number which gives the percentage, by volume, of iso-octane in a mixture of iso-octane and normal heptane, that would have the same anti-knocking capacity as the fuel which is under consideration. For example, gasoline with the same knocking characteristics as a mixture of 90% iso-octane and 10% heptane would have an octane rating of 90. Definition of octane rating The octane rating of a spark ignition engine fuel is the knock resistance (anti-knock rating) compared to a mixture of iso-octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane, an isomer of octane) and n-heptane. By definition, iso-octane is assigned an octane rating of 100 and heptane is assigned an octane rating of zero. An 87-octane gasoline, for example, possesses the same anti-knock rating of a mixture of 87% (by volume) iso-octane and 13% (by volume) n- heptane. This does not mean, however, that the gasoline actually contains these hydrocarbons in these proportions. It simply means that it has the same autoignition resistance as the described mixture. A high tendency to autoignite, or low octane rating, is undesirable in a spark ignition engine but desirable in a diesel engine. The standard for the combustion quality of diesel fuel is the cetane number. A diesel fuel with a high cetane number has a high tendency to autoignite, as is preferred. It should be noted that octane rating does not relate to the energy content of the fuel (see heating value), nor the speed at which the flame initiated by the spark plug propagates across the cylinder. It is only a measure of the fuel's resistance to autoignition. It is for this reason that one highly branched form, or isomer, of octane (2,2,4- trimethylpentane) has (by definition) an octane rating of 100, whereas n-octane (see octane), which has a linear arrangement of the 8 carbon atoms, has an octane rating of -10, even though the two fuels have exactly the same chemical formula and virtually identical heating values and flame speeds.

93 octane works best.
Octane rating is the resistance to burning. For example (not real number) a gas with an octane rating of 50 will burn at 100 degrees Fahrenheit whereas a gas with an octane rating of 100 will burn at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher the octane number the harder it is to burn.
In a pure element, the oxidation number is zero. In a monatomic ion, the oxidation number is equal to the charge of the ion. Oxygen is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, unless in a peroxide where it is -1. Hydrogen is typically assigned an oxidation number of +1 when bonded to nonmetals and -1 when bonded to metals. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero, and in a polyatomic ion it is equal to the charge of the ion.
100 octane. This is why aviation fuel (avgas) is typically called 100LL, which stands for 100 octane, low lead.
Research Octane Number 95
RON stands for Research Octane Number, which is a standard measure of a fuel's ability to resist knocking in a combustion engine. An octane rating of 95 RON indicates that the fuel has a higher resistance to knock compared to lower octane-rated fuels.
