What is bioaccumulation? Select one: a. Build-up of a chemical in an organism. b. Build-up of a chemical in an organism by ingesting the chemical through water only. c. Build-up of a chemical in a food chain. d. Build-up of a chemical in the environment (since the chemical cannot degrade in through normal environmental processes).

Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide (in kg) emitted into the atmosphere by the complete combustion of a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline. Do this by following these steps: Assume that gasoline is composed of octane (C8H18). Write a balanced equation for the combustion of octane. Determine the number of moles of octane contained in a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline (1 gallon = 3.78 L). Octane has a density of 0.79 g/mL. Use the balanced equation to convert from moles of octane to moles of carbon dioxide, then convert to grams of carbon dioxide, and Finally to kg of carbon dioxide.
