Question

Gasoline is a clear, petroleum-based flammable liquid that is mostly used as a fuel in most spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
Ester is a chemical engineer who works in the petroleum industry. Some of the gasoline they make is also used as fuel for one of the engines they need in a certain process. This is how it works: She was in the lab analyzing the gasoline and found that it mostly had 35 percent octane, 15 percent benzoyne, 7 percent propane, 12 percent ethylen, 18 percent butane, and 13 percent phenol in it.

 

1. If the air used in the engine is supplied 25% above of which is needed at
25°C, 760 mmHg and 85%RH, what is the amount of theoretical O2?

2. How much carbon dioxide is produced?

3. How much water is produced?
