Question

ronmental effects of these practices. If approximately 0.4 % of the carbon emitted from a gasoline internal combus- tion engine is CO rather than CO,, how many liters of gasoline would need to be burned to reach a lethal level of CO in a cubic volume 100 m on a side? Note: The density of air is 1.204 kg/m 4,7 4.8 Suppose 103 kg per vear of CO. emiued

I dont know how 0.032mol

Answer 1

(Page No. Date Home approximately 0.4 % of carbon emitted from gasoline internal combustion engine is co rather than co. Reaction:- 2 C₂ 4 + 2502 - 16CO₂ + 1840 2 Here - & 418 Ca 41 gives 16 co₂ molecules. gives & Co₂ molecule. Now engine is co rather than co₂ Here 0.47. i.e. 0.4 of carbon is emitted from gasoline The number of moles carbon molecules become co from the & Carbon of octane IF 0.4% j.e. 0.4 of carbon emitted then oo co is for 8 carbon of octane no = 8 x 0.4 too Inco = 0.032 mol!
