Is Gasoline Soluble in Water?
1 Answers
Gasoline is soluble in water. Here is some information about gasoline: 1. Introduction: The English name for gasoline is Gasoline (US)/Petrol (UK). It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane number. 2. Function: Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and blending them with high-octane components. It is mainly used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
