Hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of gasoline and diesel

2022-12-22View Original

Thread Content

I read today that the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (atomic ratio) of gasoline fractions is around 1.9–2.2. Isn’t the mass of carbon atoms greater? It seems like hydrogen has a higher weight; I’m not sure how to calculate it. Could someone who knows how please explain? Thank you

It refers to the percentage by number of atoms; for example, the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio in methane is 4:1.
