Molecular weight of petrol?
The molecular weight of petrol can vary based on its composition, but it is typically around 114-120 grams per mole. This is a rough average as petrol is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights.
What is the molecular weight of petrol?
78
Does diesel have larger molecules than petrol?
Yes, diesel generally has larger molecules than petrol. This difference in molecular size is one of the factors that contribute to the differences in properties between diesel and petrol, such as their boiling points and combustion characteristics.
What is the Molecular weight of diesel fuel?
233 g/mole estimated average molecular weight. Diesel fuel, like other petroleum products, is not one specific chemical compound but a complex mixture of organic compounds separated into ranges by their boiling point. For this reason, diesel doesn't have a specific molecular weight. However, you can talk about an "average molecular weight" of the mixture. EPA lists an estimated average molecular weight for diesel of 233 g/mole. http://www.epa.gov/athens/learn2model/part-two/onsite/es.htm The actual average molecular weight of diesel will vary from sample to sample depending on what grade of diesel it is (i.e. #1 diesel is light diesel), feedstock of the diesel, and the refining process of the diesel.
Why does diesel freeze quicker than petrol?
Diesel fuel and petrol/gasoline are similar; both of them are mainly mixtures of hydrocarbons. However, Diesel is considerably less volatile because it the compounds in it are of higher molecular weight; they have a higher boiling point ... and also a higher freezing point.
How can you separate petrol and diesel from crude oil?
Petrol and diesel can be separated from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated in a distillation column, which allows the different components to evaporate at their specific boiling points. This process results in the separation of petrol and diesel, along with other refined products, based on their molecular weights.
Is petrol is used in diesel cars?
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
What is diesel and petrol used for?
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
What is the difference between the burning temperature of diesel and petrol?
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
How do you tell petrol from diesel in a can?
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
Is the espero cdi petrol or diesel?

What is more combustible diesel or petrol?
Petrol is far more comustile compared to Diesel
