Octane is found in poop
C8H18 is the most common because it is octane and everyone wants octane (gasoline). so it is the most common out of many Organic compounds.
Octane is obtained by distillation from petrol.
The elements in octane are simply carbon and hydrogen. There are eight carbons which are covalently bonded together in a line, and since the carbon has to fill its valence shell it has hydrogens attached to the free electrons. Carbon needs to bond to four elements to have a full valence shell.
No, it is a Molecular Compound. The Formula is C8H18; which means there are 8 atoms of Carbon and 18 Atoms of Hydrogen. These are both Nonmetals making it a Molecular Compound's.
He found lead to increase octane leaves in gasoline
octane + oxygen -------> carbon dioxide + water
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.
The recommended octane rating for a 97 Suzuki King Quad 300 by the dealership is 87. However, it is found that the bike runs smoother on octane rating 89 with 10% ethanol.
Elements are found on the periodic table and have a chemical bond
the elements found in nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen
absolutely....you can mix any octane with any other octane
