Evaluate how much energy in the form of heat

Reference no: EM13245810

An experimental fuel is a mixture of 81% ethanol and 19% gasoline by volume. Calculate how much energy in the form of heat is available from 100mL of this mixture and compare it with the amount available from pure gasoline. Assume the densities of ethanol and gasoline are .789 and .737 g/mL respectively and that n-nonane is an appropriate model hydrocarbon for gasoline.
