Quality diesel is measured in terms of its A. cetane number B. octane number C. gold number D. avogadro number

cetane number
octane number
gold number
avogadro number

The correct answer is A. cetane number.

Cetane number is a measure of the ignition quality of diesel fuel. It is a measure of how easily a diesel fuel ignites under compression. A higher cetane number indicates that the fuel will ignite more easily, while a lower cetane number indicates that the fuel will ignite more slowly.

Octane number is a measure of the anti-knock quality of gasoline. It is a measure of how resistant a gasoline fuel is to knocking or pinging. A higher octane number indicates that the fuel is more resistant to knocking, while a lower octane number indicates that the fuel is more likely to knock.

Gold number is a measure of the dispersibility of a pigment in a paint. It is a measure of how well the pigment is able to be dispersed in the paint and how well it is able to stay dispersed. A higher gold number indicates that the pigment is more easily dispersed in the paint and will stay dispersed for a longer period of time.

Avogadro number is the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. It is a fundamental constant of nature and is equal to $6.02214076 \times 10^{23}$.

In conclusion, the correct answer is A. cetane number.
