      @@tezy0193 They boiled pots of oil in the Middle Ages to pour down on invaders trying to take their castle. Maybe someone said in the year 940, "Hey, just had an idea. We can desalt this oil, determine its PNA class, build a big tower with sieve plates at specific heights to collect the various condensate fractions. Then we can crack the longer hydrocarbon chains so they'll combust better in a standard internal combustion engine!"

      1991 Mobile regular gas worked great in my rc engine. Shell brand regular was a close second. I noticed the 1991 winter blend was the best from mobile and shell. I hear in the early 2000’s they made the gas less volatile. Anybody know the 91 Mobile winter regular gas method? I know the winter blend then was oxygenated to make more volatile.

    At the end, they showed an 8-Carbon string which is technically what "Octane" is, but if you got that into your car, it wouldn't work very well. What they call "high-octane" at the pump is actually a 5-Carbon chain with an extra 3 Carbon units branching off of it. But the total amount of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms is the same: 8 Carbon, and 18 Hydrogen. It's called "Trimethylpentane", which translates to 3 methyls on a 5-Carbon string.

    • @PNW_Chemist
      @PNW_Chemist Před 2 lety +8

      Very interesting, thank you! I always thought it was a straight 8 branch chain. As someone who loves chemistry, I feel ashamed 😅

    • @meltingzero3853
      @meltingzero3853 Před 2 lety +8

      So apparently, the octane rating works in such a way as to compare a fuel's anti-knocking capabilities to that of a mixture of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and heptane. 100% of the trimethylpentane is the highest octane rating while 100% heptane is the lowest octane rating, and a mixture of them is in between. That is because trimethylpentane is very resistant to knocking and heptane is not resistant to knocking, and a mixture of them makes for a good comparison scale to other fuels, even when those fuels have a different make-up of chemicals, because the knocking resistance can be compared regardless of what specific substance it is. Did I get that right, guys?

    • @TROOPERfarcry
      @TROOPERfarcry Před 2 lety +11

      @@meltingzero3853 Mostly all correct. One important note is that the "octane-rating" can be higher than 100, because the phrase "octane-rating" has become synonymous with "resistant-to-premature-detonation" - AKA, "knocking".
      The whole situation arose because the IUPAC naming convention, so the author of the video got it right: that squiggly line is definitely "octane" in an Organic Chemistry class according to IUPAC nomenclature. But out in the real world, that same Octane can be heated under pressure and it will re-arrange itself to the "tri-methyl-pentane" that the gasoline industry uses.
      Most race-fuels have an "Octane rating" higher than 100, which in a lab makes no sense, because you can't have more than 100% of anything in a beaker, but again, it's just because over time the term "octane-rating" has come to mean "resistance to knocking", and there are fuel compositions that are more resistant to knocking than 100% Octane.
