Gasoline is refined petroleum used in engines as a fuel. It contains octane that can be converted to isooctane by adding catalysts like platinum and palladium.
<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>
Catalysts are substances that raise the reaction rate by decreasing the activation energy but do not get consumed themselves in a reaction.
Platinum and palladium metals can be used as a catalyst to convert the octane of the gasoline into isooctane as they are oxidation catalyst that converts the fuel components into water and carbon dioxide.
Therefore, platinum and palladium are used as catalysts in converting octane.

Answer:
47.9 g of ethanol
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Combustion reactions have been very useful as a source of energy. Ethanol is now burnt for energy purposes as a fuel. Ethanol has even been proposed as a possible alternative to fossil fuels.
Since 1 mole of ethanol when combusted releases 1367 kJ/mol of energy
x moles of ethanol releases 1418 kJ/mol.
x= 1 × 1418 kJ/mol/ 1367 kJ/mol
x= 1.04 moles of ethanol.
Mass of ethanol = number of moles × molar mass
Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol
Mass of ethanol = 1.04 moles × 46.07 g/mol
Mass of ethanol= 47.9 g of ethanol
we have,
wavelenght=c/f
where c= 3×10^8 m/s
f=6.3×10^12 s^-1
so wavelength=(3×10^8)/(6.3×10^12)
=0.476×10^-4 m
