A newspaper article about the danger of global warming from the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide states that "reducing driving your car by 20.0 miles a week would prevent release of over 1000. pounds of CO₂ per year into the atmosphere." To decide if this is a reasonable statement, calculate the reduction in the number of pounds of CO₂ a car would release in a year if its use was decreased by 20.0 miles per week. Think about the effects of possible variations in gas mileage on your answer. Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H₁8) and that it is burned completely to CO₂ and H₂O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 26.4 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3. Reduction in pounds of CO₂ released = lb
Calcium carbonate is used in many antacids to neutralize stomach acid, as depicted by the following chemical equation: CaCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl2 + H2O(l) + CO2(g) If 250. mg of calcium carbonate reacts with 2.609 g of hydrochloric acid, how much hydrochloric acid will remain? Provide your answer in g to 3 decimal places.
Consider a combustion reaction in which 1.4 liters of liquid C7H15OH are burned. The density of C7H15OH is 0.8187 g/mL. How many grams of O2 were consumed in this reaction? Express your answer in units of grams using at least three significant figures.
The laboratory compared the mass of the starting reactants and final products of the combustion reaction. A technician determined the mass of the firewood and oxygen reactants before burning to be 2.72 kg. After the firewood finished burning, the pile of cooled ash that remained had a mass of 0.095 kg. According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Do the results of the technician’s combustion experiment contradict the law of conservation of mass?
What is the concentration, in units of grams of dye per liter of solution (g/L), of the dilute dye solution that is produced as follows? Transfer 16.51 mL of the stock solution (6.12 g/L) to a 200.0 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the 200.0 mL line with deionized water. Your answer should be reported to the correct number of significant figures.
Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO2. How many pounds of CO2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H2O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 27.3 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3.

Given (2.30x10^6) grams of glucose, C6H12O6, calculate the grams of carbon dioxide, CO2, formed upon complete oxidation of the glucose. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O Express your answer in three significant digits as grams. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
For your new candle-making business, you need to purchase a large amount of a unique scented wax. You plan to charge $9.95 per large candle. The wax you need is availbale form a U.S. supplier for $25.80/lb and also from a German supplier for €12.62/kg. The current exchange rate is $1 €0.76, and 1 kg = 2.20 lb. What is the price of the wax from the U.S. supplier in €/kg? price: € /kg What is the price of the wax from the German supplier in $/lb? price: $ /lb
6. My car gas tank holds 14.2 gallons of gas. 10.9 kg of carbon dioxide, CO₂, is produced per 1.00 gallon of gas burned. How many pounds of CO₂ is produced from a full tank of gas? (1 kg = 2.205 lb.)
