Write a skeletal chemical equation for the process described. A car engine burns gasoline to power the movement and other functions of a car. The main component of gasoline used for this is known as octane (
CH.). In the pistons of the engine, this octane is exposed to oxygen (0); from the air, a spark is used to heat the mixture. This causes the octane to
burn with the oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide (CO) and water vapor (H,0). This causes the piston to expand rapidly, producing the energy needed to
operate the car.
