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.
1 9 Gasoline is primarily a mixture of two volatile liquids, heptane and isooctane. 2  Pure heptane, a lighter fuel, burns so quickly that it produces a great amount of knocking in an engine. 3  Pure isooctane evaporates slowly and produces virtually no knocking.
