There is no formula for gasoline although many folks think gasoline is all octane (C8H18) it actually contains a wide variety of molecules from butane up.
All gasolines and diesels are made up to met performance criteria not composition criteria - like wine tasting and blending the same results can be reached with a number of different components.

∙ 15y agoGasoline is a rather crude oil, that is there is no one single chemical within the mixture. Gasoline contains a large variety of organic compounds including:
* Hydrocarbons with between 5 and 12 carbon atoms
* Benzene (C6H6) * Toluene (C7H8)
* Naphthalene (C10H8) * and often much more... Therefore it would be impossible to cite a single molecular formula for gasoline, you would have better luck focusing on the more purified fuels such as butane or propane.

What is the common name for octane?
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.
A multiple of an empirical formula is often called what?
molecular formula :]-kyrstiann dynae :]
Is H2O a molecular formula or formula unit?
a molecular formula
Which chemical formula is both an empirical formula and a molecular formula?
It would be a molecular formula for C3h5o.
Is C4H10 an empirical formula or a molecular formula for butane?
Imperical fomula is C2H4.Molecular fomula is C4H8.
