Suppose the car (van, SUV) you drive gets 25 miles/gallon. If you drive 19,000 miles per year how many tons of the green house gas CO2 are you releasing each year? Assume your fuel is octane (C8H18) and the combustion reaction is balanced: C8H18 + 12.5 O2 → 8 CO2 + 9 H2O Addition information: Density of octane = 0.700 g/mL 1 gallon = 3785 mL 1 pound = 454 g 1 ton = 2000 lbs
