Best Answer: In an acid-base titration the idea is to carry out a neutralization reaction between an acid solution and a base solution in order to determine the ...
Detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition) is a spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaning air-fuel mixture) within the combustion chamber AFTER the spark/ignition. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture is supposed to be a smooth, controlled burn originating at the spark plug and spreading throughout the chamber, (relatively) steadily increasing pressure and tempurature to drive the piston down.
Gasoline is primarily composed of octane. With that out of the way: the octane rating of gasoline only has a tangential relationship to the chemical octane. The octane rating is a measure of the resistance of gasoline and other fuels to detonation (engine knocking) in spark-ignition internal combustion engines.It is so named because a fuel composed of 100% iso-octane has an octane rating of 100.uels which are less resistant to detonation have an octane rating lower than 100, fuels that are more resistant to detonation have octane ratings greater than 100. Since ethanol is less explosive and more resistant to detonation than iso-octane, it has an octane rating greater than 100.
