Chapter 9, Problem 18CI
Automobile exhaust is a major cause of air pollution. One pollutant is the gas nitrogen oxide, which forms from nitrogen and oxygen gases in the air at the high temperatures in an automobile engine. Once emitted into the air, nitrogen oxide reacts with oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide, a reddish brown gas with a sharp, pungent odor that makes up smog. One component of gasoline is heptane, C7H16, a liquid with a density of 0.684 g/mL. In one year, a typical automobile uses 550 gal of gasoline and produces 41 lb of nitrogen oxide. (7.4, 7.8, 8.6)
a. Write balanced chemical equations for the production of nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide.
b. If all the nitrogen oxide emitted by one automobile is converted to nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere, how many kilograms of nitrogen dioxide are produced in one year by a single automobile?
c. Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of heptane.
d. How many moles of gaseous CO2 are produced from the gasoline used by the typical automobile in one year, assuming the gasoline is all heptane?
e. How many liters of carbon dioxide at STP are produced in one year from the gasoline used by the typical automobile?
Two gases found in automobile exhaust are carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

1.1 It is well-known that te emission of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide presents a very grave threat to the environment. Attempts are ongoing to absorb this gas by several means. One such approach involves the use of vegetation, as plants utilize the gas by means of photosynthesis. One such plant , which has shown great promise, is the "Spekboom"
It has been estimated that fully-grown Spekboom can absorb 3.8 tonnes of carbon per hectare of plants per year.
If the system is fully functional, South Africa can generate 234.5 x 109 kWh of electricity per year.
Assume that 1559 pounds of CO2 is emmited per year per Megawatt-hour of electricity generated in the country.
Determine, by means of the use of conversion factors, how many square kilometres of Spekboom could theoretically absorb all of this carbon dioxide ?

Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2).

Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l).
