What hydrocarbon is the principal component in gasoline?
Octane
What is the main component of unleaded gasoline?
Gasoline is a mixture of several hydrocarbons. The most predominant hydrocarbon is octane, or C8H18, which is why many gasolines have an octane rating.
Can any hydrocarbon power an internal combustion engine?
Gasoline is a hydrocarbon obtained by separating crude oil into component fractions in a fractionating column; so yes a hydrocarbon can power an internal combustion engine.
What is the main hydrocarbon component of natural gas?
The main hydrocarbon component of natural gas is methane (CH4).
What is the principle component of a diamond?
Diamond's principle component is carbon.
What kind of mixture is petrol?
homogeneous...
What is c12 h26?
C12H26 is the chemical formula for dodecane, which is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with 12 carbon atoms and 26 hydrogen atoms. It is a component of gasoline and is used as a solvent and in the production of various chemicals.
Which molecule is octane?
Octane is a hydrocarbon molecule with the chemical formula C8H18. It is a major component of gasoline and is used as a standard reference in the octane rating system that measures the anti-knock properties of a fuel.
What are the reactants and products of the burning of gasoline?
The reactants of burning gasoline are gasoline (hydrocarbon fuel) and oxygen. The products of burning gasoline are carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy.
What is the word equation for the complete combustion of gasoline?
hydrocarbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
Is gasoline an compound element solution or heterogenous mixture?
Gasoline is best described as a solution. It is a mixture of miscible hydrocarbons.
Is a short-chain hydrocarbon more viscous than a long chain hydrocarbon?
Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.
