How many moles of O2 are required to burn 1 mole of gasoline. [2] c. How many grams of O2 are required to burn a gallon of gasoline (use gasoline density = 780 g / L). [2] d. At standard temperature and pressure (1 atm and 0 °C) what volume of 02 would be required to burn a gallon of gasoline. If air is 21% O2 what volume of air at STP would be required? [2] e. What mass of CO, (kg) would be produced from burning a gallon of gasoline?
