Octane (C8H18) is a component of gasoline. Complete combustion of octane yields H2O and CO2. Incomplete combustion produces H2O and CO, which not only reduces the efficiency of the engine using the fuel but is also toxic. In a certain test run, 1.000 gallon (gal) of octane is burned in an engine. The total mass of CO, CO2, and H2O produced is 11.53 kg. Calculate the efficiency of the process; that is, calculate the fraction of octane converted to CO2. The density of octane is 2.650 kg/gal.
