Question

The octane rating of gasoline is a relationship of the burning efficiency of the given gasoline mixture to the burning efficiency of octane (C8H18). (Figure 1) Like most hydrocarbons, octane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is C8H18(g) + O2(g) rightarrow CO2(g) + H2O(g) How many moles of water are produced in this reaction? Express your answer with the appropriate units. After the reaction, how much octane is left? Express your answer with the appropriate units. moles of C8H18 remaining =

Explanation / Answer

2C8H18 + 25O2 --> 16CO2 + 18H2O H2O produced = 18 Octane left = 1
