Question

According to the American Insurance Companies, on average, a vehicle is driven 12,000 miles per year. In the chemical equation below, gasoline is given as octane, or C8H18. Assume the vehicle gets 22.0 miles per gallon. The density of octane is 0.703 g/mL.
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 „³ 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
A. How many gallons of C8H18 is used in a year?
B. Convert gallon to liters (1 L = 0.264 gallon)
C. Convert liter to mL
D. How many grams of C8H18 is used in a year? (HINT: Remember the density equation, D=m/V, can be used to determine mass if volume is known.)
E. Based on mass of C8H18, how many grams of CO2 is produced in a year?
F. Convert

This is a homework help site. How much of this do you know how to do? Post what you can do and explain exactly what you don't understand about the next step; I can help you through the rest.

Answer 2

im not sure what do start doing

Answer 3

Look in the owner’s manual of your car to determine the amount of gasoline your tank can hold. Using the information presented in the text, calculate how much carbon dioxide is produced from driving your car for a year assuming that all the gas is octane (C8H18). You may not look up the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from a gallon of gas on the internet to complete this discussion board post. The intention of this exercise is for you to use concepts such as density, balancing chemical equations, moles, etc. to determine your car’s carbon. How do i start and set up this type of problem?
