calculate the total mass of carbon dioxide gas produced when you burn 1000ml of gasoline
Density of heptane = 0.684g/ml
density of octane =0.703g/ml
a) Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced from combustion of heptane
C7H16 + O2 ------- CO2 + H2O
b)CALCULATE THE MASS OF CARBON DIOXIDE PRODUCED FROM THE COMBUSTION OF OCTANE
C8H18 + O2 ----- CO2 + H2O

1000 mL gasoline contains how much octane and how much heptane?
thats all the info we are given but
i found the mass using the formula
density= mass/volume
mass of heptane is 648 grams and mass of octane is 703 grams i just don't know what to do next

And I don't either. Your calculation obtains the grams octane IF the entire 1000 mL is octane or grams heptane iF the entire 1000 mL is heptane but it doesn't tell you the grams of each in gasoline if gasoline were a mixture of heptane and octane.
