Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, and octane
The grades gasoline are the different octane ratings, the cheapest gas has the least octane. The lower the octane in the gasoline, the faster it will burn. High performance cars need high octane fuel.
propane
Your average automobile will burn 87 octane unleaded gasoline. Some more sporty cars will burn 92 or 97 high octane unleaded fuels. All of which are a petroleum by product.
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.
pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, and octane
It depends on the type of race car you are talking about. For example:NASCAR engines burn 110-octane leaded gasoline.Indy cars burn pure methanol (a.k.a. wood alcohol, CH3OH).Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars burn nitromethane (CH3NO2).
Octane rating is the resistance to burning. For example (not real number) a gas with an octane rating of 50 will burn at 100 degrees Fahrenheit whereas a gas with an octane rating of 100 will burn at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher the octane number the harder it is to burn.
Burning pentane, C5H12, is a combustion reaction in which pentane and oxygen will react to form carbon dioxide and water. The chemical equation is C5H12 + 8O2 --> 5CO2 + 6H2O
