The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for nitromethane (CH3NO2) is approximately 1.7:1, which means that 1.7 moles of air are needed for every mole of nitromethane to achieve complete combustion. This ratio is based on the stoichiometry of the reaction between nitromethane and oxygen (O2) in air.
Any car or motorcycle that is a true "TOP FUEL" vehicle, uses a mixture of methanol (alcohol) and nitromethane. The current NHRA rules allow for a mixture of 90% nitromethane to 10% alcohol.
One gallon of nitromethane weighs approximately 6.857 pounds (3.11 kilograms).
Yes, nitromethane is more explosive than gasoline. Nitromethane has a higher energy density and burns more quickly, making it a popular choice in drag racing and other high-performance applications. However, nitromethane is also more unstable and requires special handling and precautions due to its highly explosive nature.
Alcohol. BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Content. It is the ratio of alcohol to blood.
Yes, nitromethane can be mixed with E85 to create a high-performance fuel blend commonly used in racing applications. It is important to follow the proper mixing ratios and safety precautions when handling nitromethane due to its high reactivity and potential for combustion.
Yes, they're miscible in every ratio
The ideal alcohol ratio for achieving the perfect balance in mixed drinks is typically around 1 part alcohol to 3 parts mixer. This ratio allows the flavors of the alcohol and mixer to complement each other without one overpowering the other.
Nitromethane, CH3NO2, is an organic compound that is more flammable than gasoline. And, though it is widely used in industry, it is also used as an additive in racing fuels to increase the volatility of the combusted materials. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
Yes, nitromethane is a chemical compound with the formula CH3NO2. It is commonly used as a fuel in racing cars and model airplanes due to its high energy content.
The ideal ratio of alcohol to mixer for a well-balanced cocktail is typically 2:1 or 3:1, meaning two parts alcohol to one part mixer. This ratio ensures that the flavors of the alcohol and mixer complement each other without one overpowering the other.
"Top fuel" is the class of drag racing that uses a fuel made up of 90% nitromethane and 10% methanol(also called racing alcohol) more commonly called "nitro".
