Chemistry

The automobile fuel called E85 consists of 85% ethanol and 15%gasoline. E85 can be used in so-called flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs),which can use gasoline, ethanol, or a mix as fuels. Assume thatgasoline consists of a mixture of octanes (different isomers ofC8H18), that the average heat of combustion of C8H18(l) is 5400kJ/mol, and that gasoline has an average density of 0.70 g/mL. Thedensity of ethanol is 0.79 g/mL.

Part C Assume that the density and heat of combustion of E85 canbe obtained by using 85% of the values for ethanol and 15% of thevalues for gasoline. How much energy could be released by thecombustion of 3.0 L of E85?
