A website promoting the use of alternative energy vehicles and hybrid technologies claims that, "A typical automobile in the USA uses about 4040 gallons of gasoline every month, producing about 750 lbs of carbon dioxide." To determine the truth of this statement, calculate how many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced when 40.0040.00 gallons of gasoline are subjected to complete combustion. Assume that the primary ingredient in gasoline is octane, C8H18(l),C8H18(l), which has a density of 0.703 g/mL.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is a chemical division that evaluates the quantitative content of the chemical process with the help of the reacting molecules or products taking part in the reaction. The term “stoicheion” in “Stoichiometry”, is an old Greek term for "element" whereas “metron” means "measure".
