- Carbon dioxide, which is recognized as the major contributorto global warming as a “greenhouse gas,” is formedwhen fossil fuels are combusted, as in electrical powerplants fueled by coal, oil, or natural gas. One potential wayto reduce the amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere isto store it as a compressed gas in underground formations.Consider a 1000-megawatt coal-fired power plant that producesabout 6 x 106 tons of CO2 per year.

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=nRTarrow_forward
