Vedclass · Answer

(D) Iso-octane is a branched alkane ($2,2,4$-trimethylpentane) used as a reference standard to measure the antiknock quality of gasoline. It is assigned an octane rating of $100$,while $n$-heptane is assigned $0$. Mixing iso-octane with petrol helps in reducing the knocking tendency of the fuel,thereby acting as an antiknock agent.
