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 else can I help you with?
What Chemical Compounds does the complete combustion of petrol produce?
Petrol consists of hydrocarbons- for example C8H18. The complete combustion produces fully oxidised carbon and hydrogen- i.e. CO2 and H2O
Explain why distillation is a good way to separate C8H18 and C5H12 liquids?
both of these are liquid hydrocarbons so have the same chemical properties therefore can not beseparated by chemical means by physical means their separation is not possible by filtration because both are miscible so only method to separate them is fractional distillation because they have different boiling points.
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.
What is the equation for the incomplete combustion of octane?
The incomplete combustion of octane, which is a component of gasoline, can produce carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon (C) as byproducts. The balanced chemical equation for the incomplete combustion of octane is 2C8H18 + 17O2 → 8CO + 8CO2 + 16H2O. This equation demonstrates that when octane reacts with oxygen in insufficient amounts, it results in the formation of carbon monoxide and carbon, along with carbon dioxide and water vapor.
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.
How many moles of H are in 2 mol of c8h18?
2 moles C8H18 (18 moles H/1 mole C8H18) = 36 moles of hydrogen =================
What is the equation for the formation of octane from its elements?
octane + oxygen -------> carbon dioxide + water
What is the reactant in the equation C8H18 plus O2CO2 plus H20?
The reactants are C8H18 and oxygen.
What is the combustion of C8H18?
The combustion of C8H18 (octane) in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water vapor as the main products. The balanced equation for the complete combustion of octane is: C8H18 + 12.5 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 9 H2O. This reaction releases a large amount of energy, which is why octane is used as a fuel in engines.
How many carbon atoms are depicted in the formula c8h18?
There are 8 carbon atoms in the formula C8H18.
How do you balance C8H18 O2?
The chemical reaction is:2 C8H18 +25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
How do you balance C8H18 plus O2?
The chemical reaction is:2 C8H18 +25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
What is the chemical name for petrol?
C8h18
Is gasoline a compoud?
yes. C8H18
Is Octane C8H18 an elemental substance?
No, Octane (C8H18) is not an elemental substance. It is a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Empirical formula for octane?
I don't know the exact formula but, i know the density of iso-octane: 0.69 g/ml And one gallon is equal to 3,840 ml so.... all you need is the volume.
Is C8H18 a aqueous solution?
No, C8H18 is not an aqueous solution. It is a chemical formula for octane, which is a hydrocarbon compound commonly found in gasoline.
