Gasoline is mostly octane (C8H18). When it is burned, it reacts with oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction. a. Write and balance the equation for the combustion of gasoline. b. In NY, gasoline is the main fuel used for motor vehicles. The amount of gasoline someone uses per year can vary greatly from person to person. c. Estimate the number of miles driven per year using the questions below: (It still counts even if you are not the one driving!) i. How far do you live away from school in miles? (google if needed) Total miles to and from school (per day): 16 Mils ii. We have approximately 180 days of school per year, how many miles of riding/driving would that be for a whole year? (0 miles if you walk to school, but not if you ride the bus!) 288 miles Total miles to and from school (per academic year): Gasoline is mostly octane (C8H18).
