Abstract

ABSTRACT

Gasoline is a petroleum product chemically constituted by a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, being one of the main fuels used by motor vehicles. In this way, it is of great importance that its quality be evaluated and ensured. Through a resolution of the Conselho Interministerial do Açúcar e do Álcool (CIMA), an acceptable content of ethanol contained in gasoline was established as 27%. In this way, percentages that exceed the exposed value characterize the fuel as adulterated. Based on this, the analysis of samples of common gasoline marketed in the municipality of Guaraí – TO. was carried out Physical-chemical analysis was carried out on gasoline samples, where it was found that they had ethanol content between 21 and 25%, being within the specifications of the current law.

Keywords: Gasoline; Ethanol; Chemical physical – analysis.
