What is the density of 95-octane gasoline?
2 Answers
Gasoline density ranges from 0.70g/cm³ to 0.78g/cm³. Below is an introduction to the physicochemical properties and uses of gasoline: Physicochemical properties of gasoline: At room temperature, gasoline appears as a colorless to light yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water. It is highly flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 205°C. When its concentration in air reaches 74-123g/m³, it can explode upon contact with fire. The calorific value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kJ/kg. Main uses of gasoline: Gasoline is one of the most widely used light petroleum products and serves as an important fuel for engines. Based on the manufacturing process, gasoline components can be classified into straight-run gasoline, thermal cracking gasoline (coking gasoline), catalytic cracking gasoline, catalytic reforming gasoline, polymerization gasoline, hydrocracking gasoline, alkylation gasoline, and synthetic gasoline.
Regarding the density of 95-octane gasoline, I think it's approximately 0.72 to 0.775 grams per cubic centimeter. This might sound a bit abstract, but simply put, it's slightly lighter than other gasolines. As someone who drives year-round, I know that density directly affects the weight when refueling. For example, 50 liters of gasoline with higher density will weigh more, impacting fuel consumption and vehicle acceleration. However, current standards are quite stable, and it's generally accurate to take the median value of 0.75 grams per cubic centimeter. Remember, when refueling, don't just look at the price; understanding this little detail can make your journey more worry-free and prevent issues on the road.
