Best Answer: In an acid-base titration the idea is to carry out a neutralization reaction between an acid solution and a base solution in order to determine the ...
Detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition) is a spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaning air-fuel mixture) within the combustion chamber AFTER the spark/ignition. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture is supposed to be a smooth, controlled burn originating at the spark plug and spreading throughout the chamber, (relatively) steadily increasing pressure and tempurature to drive the piston down.
Mild detonation can occur in almost any engine and will not cause damage. Prolonged heavy detonation can crack pistons and rings, blow out head gaskets, damage spark plugs and valves, and flatten rod bearings. Any of the following can cause detonation:
