How Many Kilometers Can 20 Liters of Gasoline Run?
1 Answers
20 liters of gasoline can run approximately 300 kilometers. Here is some extended information about gasoline: 1. Production: Gasoline is produced by oil refineries. 42 gallons of crude oil can produce about 19 gallons (72 liters) of gasoline. The substance separated from crude oil through distillation is called straight-run gasoline. 2. Composition: The main body of typical gasoline is a uniform mixture of smaller, relatively light hydrocarbons, with each molecule containing 4 to 12 carbon atoms (commonly referred to as C4-C12). It is a mixture of paraffins (alkanes), olefins (alkenes), and naphthenes (cycloalkanes). The terms paraffins and olefins are used instead of the standard chemical nomenclature alkanes and alkenes, which is unique to the petroleum industry.
