When octane (C8H18) is burned in engines, it primarily produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) through the combustion process. However, incomplete combustion can also generate carbon monoxide (CO) and various hydrocarbons, along with nitrogen oxides (NOx) due to the high temperatures in the engine. The overall reaction highlights the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

What is C 9 gas?

C9 gas is a octane rating for gasoline, indicating a higher resistance to knocking in engines. It is a quality measure of gasoline's performance in engines, with C9 being a mid-level octane rating.


What causes knocking in engines?

Could be low octane, Buy an octane booster and pour it into your gas tank (only costs a few dollars) or try a higher octane gasoline.


Is 87 octane gas as good as 89 or 91 octane gas?

Probably, yes. Gasoline comes with different octane ratings because some engines require a higher octane to prevent pre-ignition ("pinging" under acceleration or on hills). Check your owner's manual. Also, you can experiment with lower-octane (and therefore less expensive) gasoline. If you do not experience pinging with 87 octane gas, then that is all you need.(Technically, a higher-octane gas burns slower than lesser-octane gas, but that is beyond the scope of this question.)


What poisonous gas can be formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned?

sulphur dioxide is formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned


What is the difference in gas grades?

The grades gasoline are the different octane ratings, the cheapest gas has the least octane. The lower the octane in the gasoline, the faster it will burn. High performance cars need high octane fuel.


Will 87 octane gas hurt a 2011 Mercedes glk 350?

For one tank of gas, probably not. However, over the long term the engine may wear more quickly. High compression engines are designed for high octane gas.


if sodium is burned in chroline gas which compound is formed?

When sodium is burned in chlorine gas, sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed. This is a white solid compound commonly known as table salt.


What mass of carbon dioxide will be produced in this engine when 15.0 g of octane is burned with 15.0 g of oxygen gas?

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of octane is: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 -> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O From the equation, 1 mole of octane produces 16 moles of CO2. Therefore, 15.0 g of octane will produce 15.0 g x (16/114.20) = 2.10 g of CO2 when burned with 15.0 g of oxygen gas.


Explain why gas oil is cracked to produce gasoline?

To produce a higher octane fuel. A fuel that will power high efficiency engines.


What fuel does an airplane engine use?

Gas turbines use jet fuel and reciprocating engines use high-octane gasoline.


What octane does a 1995 Toyota 4Runner need?

A 3vze engine will take anywhere from regular 87 octane, up to 100 octane race gas. However what is your purpose to using higher or lower octane, Using regular, plus, or premium will work well. however higher mile engines would prefer 91 octane!


What is the difference between 91 octane and 95 octane?

91 octane petrol will ignite at a lower temperature and burn faster, which can cause knocking in an auto engine. Lead compounds were added at one time to raise the octane rating, but recently engines have been redesigned to work on low (<98) octane petrol (or gas in the US colonies)
