Yes. Some cars require a high octane gasoline or they get a pinging or dieseling from their engine. Some just need regular. If your car takes a long time to shut down, you are needing a high octane gas. Normally you can use regular.

How does the rate of temperature change depend on the temperature difference between the two beakers?

The rate of temperature change typically depends on the temperature difference between the two beakers according to Newton's Law of Cooling. The greater the temperature difference, the faster the rate of temperature change between the two beakers.


Why is the burning gasoline in a car a chemical change?

Chemistry is just a subset of physics in general. A chemical event is the interaction of electrons of one atom with neighbouring atoms. For certain such interactions to take place, energy has to be added. Heat causes the molecules of gasoline to break apart and recombine with oxygen in the air. This in turn releases more energy, so the reaction continues around it as long as there is gasoline and oxygen available. Heat is really just "more frantically moving atoms". With sufficient movement, the energy causes chemical bonds, i.e. the configuration of electrons between atoms, to break or be made.


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.


What is the difference between 2cl and 35 ml?

First, cl stands for centiliters and ml stands for milliliters. There are 100 centiliters in a liter and 1000 milliliters in a liter. Basically, this means that 2 cl is 0.02 liters and 35 ml is 0.035 liters. So, there really is only 0.015 difference between the two. Hope this helped.


Gasoline molar mass?

The molar mass of octane (C8H18), the primary component of gasoline, is approximately 114 g/mol. However, gasoline is a mixture of many hydrocarbons, some with as few as four carbons, while others have up to 12. According to US government agencies, such as DOE and EPA, on average, without adding any ethanol, the molar mass of gasoline is only 100 to 105 g/mol.
