Octane is an eight-carbon hydrocarbon compound commonly found in gasoline, while dodecane is a twelve-carbon hydrocarbon that is typically used as a standard reference in chromatography. Octane is lighter and more volatile compared to dodecane, which has a higher molecular weight and boiling point.

How many elements in dodecane?

Dodecane is a hydrocarbon and contains only two elements, carbon and hydrogen.


Will dodecane dissolve in water?

No, dodecane is a hydrocarbon (alkane) and is insoluble in water due to differences in polarity. Water is a polar molecule while dodecane is non-polar, so they do not mix.


Will dodecane burn when ignited?

Dodecane will burn from a wick but a pool of liquid dodecane can only be ignited if the temperature is raised to around 75 degrees Celcius. A pool of dodecane will ignite spontaneously at around 203 degrees Celcius, just below its boiling point.


What is the difference between unleaded and unleaded plus at Casey's?

Octane rating. regular is 87 plus is 89 or 91


What is the difference between 91 octane and 95 octane?

91 octane petrol will ignite at a lower temperature and burn faster, which can cause knocking in an auto engine. Lead compounds were added at one time to raise the octane rating, but recently engines have been redesigned to work on low (<98) octane petrol (or gas in the US colonies)


Can dodecane dissolve in water?

Dodecane is a 12 carbon hydrocarbon and it will not dissolve in water. It is very non polar.


What is the difference between regular and premium gas?

Premium gasoline is rated between 91 and 93 octane, while regular is rated at 87 octane. The octane rating is the resistance of the gasoline to igniting, and higher compression engines need higher octane rating to prevent pre-detonation or pinging. Check your owner's manual to see if you need premium or can run the less expensive regular.


Is dodecane soluble in water?

Dodecane is not soluble in water because it is a hydrocarbon that is nonpolar. Water is a polar molecule, so it is unable to effectively interact with nonpolar substances like dodecane.


What is dodecane a compound or element or mixture?

Dodecane is a compound. It is an organic chemical compound belonging to the alkane group, consisting of 12 carbon atoms.


What state is dodecane at 25 at degrees?

gas


Is there 26 hydrogen atoms in Dodecane?

Yep!


How hot is boiling point of dodecane?

The boiling point of dodecane is approximately 216 degrees Celsius or 421 degrees Fahrenheit.
