Using your cars miles per gallon and the miles you drive in 1 week calculate the liters of carbon dioxide you produce when using your car. Compare your miles in February (pre-covid) versus June (post-covid). Assume that your engine combusts at 1.00 atm and 25.0 celsius. Assume that your gasoline is 100% octane (C8H18). You will also need to balance the combustion reaction that occurs in your car engine. You will need to use PV=nRT
I think calculations are not correct specially for June. please help
2C8H18+ 25O2→16CO2+18H2O
Feb, (pre covid),
Miles covered per week=15×7=105 miles
So fuel consumed per week=105 miles/30 miles ga =3.5 ga
Density of octane=3.18 kg/ga
Mass=volume × density
Mass of Octane used per week = 3.5 ga x 3.18 kg/ga =11.13 kg
Moles of octane in 11.13 kg
11.13 kg/114 kg/k mol =0.097 kmol
2 kmol octan≡16 kmol CO2
0.097 kmol octane =16/2 × 0.097 kmol CO2
0.097 kmol octane = 0.781 kmol CO2
n= 0.781 kmol=781 moles CO2
V=781 mol x 8.314j/k. mol x (25+273)K/1atm x…
