Petrol composition ranges from C5-C12 while that of Diesel average composition is C12H23, ranging from approx. C10H20 to C15H28.
So it shows that Diesel consists of heaveir hydrocarbons than Petrol.
See the link below for some specifications.
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.
Petrol contain a huge number of organic compounds.
The chemical composition remain unchanged.
i think is chemical composition its not chemical composition, it's how they were formed
Simple! Hydrogen.
These data depends strongly on the chemical composition. For gasoline: the freezing point is from -40 0C to -60 0C For Diesel fuel: the freezing point is from -6 0C to -20 0C
Yes. burning petrol chemically creates a whole new set of chemicals. depending on the heat and exact composition of the petrol.
See the link below for some specifications.
Chemical energy. The petrol / diesel that you fill up the tank with.
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
diesel and petrol are source which is used to generate power.
The vapor pressure of petrol typically ranges from 2-14 psi, while the vapor pressure of diesel is generally lower, around 0.2-0.5 psi. These values can vary based on factors such as temperature and composition.
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.
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!
petrol
Petrol is far more comustile compared to Diesel
