Gasoline is composed of 20% C8H18, 20% C9H20, 15% C10H22, 15% C11H24, 8% C6H6, 10% C7H8, 10% C8H7 and 2% C8H10 by mass. The Specific Gravity of Gasoline is .74
2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H20
C9H20 + 14O2 -> 9CO2 + 10H20
2C10H22 + 31O2 -> 20CO2 + 22H20
C11H24 + 17O2 -> 11CO2 + 12H20
2C6H6 + 15O2 -> 12CO2 + 6H20
C7H8 + 9O2 -> 7CO2 + 4H20
4C8H7 + 39O2 -> 32CO2 + 7H20
2C8H10 + 21O2 -> 16CO2 + 10H2O
You can use this information to perform some lengthy calculations and come to the conclusion that burning 1 gallon of gasoline produces 8.7 kg of CO2. That's what most people want to know.

∙ 13y agoCombustion or burning is the chemical reaction of a substance in the presence of oxygen. This can be understood with a simple example. Fire is not enough to burn a paper, it also require oxygen in air.
During burning or combustion, heat energy is generated and physical and chemical properties of substance are changed.
