What is c8h18 used for?
C8H18 is the simple version of the chemical formula for any of the isomers of octane. This is best known as a major component in petrol/gasoline, although the octane rating is not related to the actual amount in the petrol/gasoline which is a mixture of several volatile hydrocarbons.
What is the same about all the compounds in crude oil?
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
What of the periodic table is oil made of?
Oil is a mixture of compounds (2 or more elements bonded together), not an element itself, so it does not appear in the periodic table. Crude oil is a mixture of Hydrogen and Carbon compounds (hydrocarbons) of varying lengths, but with the general formula CnH2n+2, for example octane, C8H18. The different compounds within the oil are separated by fractional distillation before it is suitable for use.
Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
What is the boiling point of Gasoline 87 octane?
There are 18 different isomers of "octane", i.e. C8H18. Most likely the question refers to either the straight chain n-octane or to isooctane - the octane that the "octane" rating of gasoline is based on.For n-nctane:Boiling Point: 126C (259F)Melting Point: -57C (-71F)For isooctane (2,2,4 trimethylpentane):Melting point: -107 CBoiling point: 98 CIf you are looking for one of the other 16 isomers of octane, you need to specify which one.
Octane and methane are both carbon and hydrogen atoms why are they different?
Octane and methane are both saturated hydrocarbons and follow the formula CnH2n+2. The only thing that's different is the number of carbons (and hence hydrogens) in the backbone. Octane has 8 carbons and has formula C8H18. Methane has 1 carbon and has formula C1H4.
What types of hydrocarbons are more abundant in higher-octane gasoline?
smaller and less massive hydrocarbons :)
What do methane octane butane have in common?
All these are saturated hydrocarbons of Alkane family.
What kind of substance is oil?
Crude oil is a mixture of lots of different organic chemicals, there is alkanes (methane, ethane, propane ... octane ... C18H38) and alkalies, alcohols and lots of different hydrocarbons.
What is octane?
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.
What is the scientific name for gasoline?
The scientific name for gasoline is aliphatic hydrocarbons.
What kind of substance is crude oil?
Crude oil is a mixture of lots of different organic chemicals, there is alkanes (methane, ethane, propane ... octane ... C18H38) and alkalies, alcohols and lots of different hydrocarbons.
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.
What element are in octane?
What most people mean when they talk about "octane" is slightly different from what a chemist means by the word (a layman's "octane" is a chemist's "isooctane", or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane). However, both octane and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are hydrocarbons, meaning they contain exactly two elements: hydrogen and carbon.
Most fuels are hydrocarbons. what does this mean?
hydrocarbons are carbon chains with hydrogen (and hydrogen only) bonded to them. So, most fuels are carbon chains with hydrogen bonded to them. Octane (gasoline) is C8H18
What is the measure of the antiknock properties in a fuel?
octane number
What is a compound that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Compounds that contain ONLY carbon and hydrogen are named as 'hydrocarbons'. Some examples;_ Methane, Ethene, Octane. Alcohols and carboxylic acids are NOT hydrocarbons, because they also contain oxygen.
