General Chemistry Question:
What is the formula of diesel, petrol & CNG too?
Answer:
The alkanes from pentane (C5H12) to octane (C8H18) are
refined into petrol, the ones from nonane (C9H20) to
hexadecane (C16H34) into diesel fuel and kerosene (primary
component of many types of jet fuel), and the ones from
hexadecane upwards into fuel oil and lubricating oil.
