Define octane number. A sample of gasoline produces the same knocking as mixture containing 35% n-heptane and 65% iso-octane. What is the octane number of the sample ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Octane Number:** The octane number is a measure of the performance of gasoline or fuel in terms of its ability to resist knocking during combustion. It is determined by comparing the fuel's performance to a mixture of n-heptane (which has an octane number of 0) and iso-octane (which has an octane number of 100). 2. **Understanding the Given Mixture:** The problem states that a sample of gasoline produces the same knocking as a mixture containing 35% n-heptane and 65% iso-octane. ...
