1)what are the chemical reactions for the combustion of
octane( assuming that the gasoline is octane)?

2)

Complete combustion results in CO2+H2O but then again nothing is perfect.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CDD- Yes this is the wrong place for this Question But as for the
above answer
complete combustion of a hydrocarbon does not give H2O as an
end
product more like if motor is running rich -high carbonmonoxide-CO
output-- proper fuel mixture
means an increase in CO2 output -octane is not gasoline it is an
aditive used to stop
preignition. without it your engine would try to diesel when hot or
when a high compression
engine is used.Although this doesn't answer your question I have
trouble understanding what it is you want to
know. did you need to know the exact chemical/thermal and explosive
reaction of an internal combution engine or
???????????????????????
