Explain octane ratings are assigned to gasoline mixtures

Reference no: EM13213184

Isooctane, C8H18, is the basis of the octane rating system for gasoline because it burns smoothly, with minimal engine knocking. Pure isooctane is assigned a value of 100. Octane ratings are assigned to gasoline mixtures based on their ability to prevent knocking relative to isooctane. Estimate the energy released during the combustion of 1.00 mol of pure isooctane.
