The octane rating of gasoline is a relationship of the burning efficiency of the given gasoline mixture to the burning efficiency of octane (C8H18). Like most hydrocarbons, octane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is

Answer:

Cβ‚ˆHβ‚β‚ˆ(l) + Oβ‚‚(g) β‡’ COβ‚‚(g) + Hβ‚‚O(l)

Explanation:

Let's consider the unbalanced equation for the combustion reaction of octane.

Cβ‚ˆHβ‚β‚ˆ(l) + Oβ‚‚(g) β‡’ COβ‚‚(g) + Hβ‚‚O(l)

We can begin balancing H atoms by multiplying Hβ‚‚O by 9, and C atoms by multiplying COβ‚‚ by 8.

Cβ‚ˆHβ‚β‚ˆ(l) + Oβ‚‚(g) β‡’ 8 COβ‚‚(g) + 9 Hβ‚‚O(l)

Finally, we get the balanced equation by multiplying Oβ‚‚ by 12.5.

Cβ‚ˆHβ‚β‚ˆ(l) + 12.5 Oβ‚‚(g) β‡’ 8 COβ‚‚(g) + 9 Hβ‚‚O(l)
