Laboratory experiment with some activities to do measuring induction period of gasoline by using rancimit
1. Set up the rancimit and connect the gasoline sample to the apparatus.
2. Heat up the sample to a specified temperature using the rancimit.
3. Monitor the temperature of the sample using a thermometer.
4. Once the sample reaches the specified temperature, start the rancimit and begin measuring the induction period.
5. Record the time it takes for the sample to start oxidizing and producing a noticeable change in color or viscosity.
6. Repeat the experiment multiple times with different samples of gasoline to ensure accuracy and consistency in the results.
7. Analyze the data collected to determine the average induction period of the gasoline sample.
8. Compare the results with the standard induction period for gasoline to assess the quality and stability of the sample.
9. Discuss with your lab partners about the factors that can affect the induction period of gasoline and how it can be improved or optimized for better performance.
