The formula for the reaction of gasoline as it combusts is:
CnH2n+2 + nO2-> nCO2
from this it is obvious that each carbon/hydrogen unit in the gasoline "chain" has a mass of slightly more than 14 while the carbon in the CO2 has a similar unit mass of 44, almost 3 times as much. As the carbon numbers are the same on both sides of the equation the weight after combustion is higher.
What else can I help you with?
Does 1 pint of gasoline weigh more than 1 pint of water?
No, gasoline weighs less than water.
Which has greater mass water or gasoline?
Gasoline has greater mass than water because gasoline is less dense than water, meaning the same volume of gasoline weighs more than the same volume of water.
Does it cost more to produce diesel fuel than regular gasoline?
I'm going to go with "No" as gasoline requires more refining than diesel does.
What weights more one gallon of water or one gallon of gasoline?
One gallon of water weighs more than one gallon of gasoline. Water has a higher density than gasoline, meaning it is heavier for the same volume.
Is super gasoline harmful for vehicles?
Not at all, in fact it will produce more power than all the other types of gasoline
Why does water weigh more then gasoline?
Water weighs more than gasoline because the particles in water are more dense than those in gasoline. This is because water molecules are highly polar and tend to attract each other. Gasoline molecules are not nearly as polar and do not attract each other.
Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?
Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.
Is hydrogen more explosive than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more explosive than gasoline.
Is hydrogen more flammable than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more flammable than gasoline.
Which is heavier gasoline or motor oil?
if the two were in a container, the oil would raise to the top. if that helps any
Is nitro faster than gas?
Nitro or nitromethane is faster than gasoline in drag racing due to its higher energy content and ability to produce more power. Nitromethane allows for quicker acceleration and higher speeds compared to regular gasoline.
What is the difference in weight between gallon of water and gallon of gasoline?
Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.
