Question

From the balanced equation below and assuming that a car burns octane,
C8H18 (d= 0.703 g/cm3)
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
Solve the following:


b. The car has a fuel efficiency of 32 miles per gallon of
octane; determine the volume of CO2 at 25°C and 1.0 atm
that is generated when the car goes on a 10-mile trip.
