What most people mean when they talk about "octane" is slightly different from what a chemist means by the word (a layman's "octane" is a chemist's "isooctane", or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane). However, both octane and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are hydrocarbons, meaning they contain exactly two elements: hydrogen and carbon.
Octane is a compound. octane + O2 = CO2 + H2O + Energy, You can tell by the inputs and outputs. Octane and Oxygen inputs and Carbon dioxide and water outputs, means Octane must consist of hydrogen H and carbon C, thus a compound not an element.
He found lead to increase octane leaves in gasoline
Octane is a hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula C8H18. It is a component of gasoline and is used as a reference standard to measure the performance of fuels in internal combustion engines. Higher octane ratings indicate greater resistance to engine knocking or pinging.
absolutely....you can mix any octane with any other octane
There is no octane in gasoline... it is the equivalent of octane.
NOS octane booster
It has no octane rating.
Octane is a hydrocarbon.
Water and gasoline form a heterogeneous mixture
Octane has not special application excepting the so-called octane number.
65% of 87 and 35% 93 to make 89 octane gas
The molecular formula of octane is C8H18. It doesn't really have a "symbol."The "octane" in gasoline is actually "iso-octane" or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. It has the same molecular formula, but the atoms are arranged differently than in n-octane.
