The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states "Every gallon of gasoline releases about 20 lbs of CO2 into the air." How many pounds of CO2 would you put into the air if you were the only passenger taking a cab traveling 64 miles that got 18 miles per gallon (mpg)? The answer is 71.11 lbs. but how do we get it?
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
Ethylene (CH₂CH₂) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 × 10¹0 kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH3CH3) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 80.0 L reaction tank with 14.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 850. °C. He believes K₂=0.60 at this temperature. alo Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Ar Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what he actually observes. % 0x₁…

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.
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?
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.

Ethylene (CH₂CH₂) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses.

Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH₂CH3) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 35.0 L reaction tank with 35.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 400. °C. He believes K₂=0.20 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of Kp and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what he actually observes.
