Chapter 1, Problem 1.87QP
One gallon of gasoline in an automobile’s engine produces on the average 9.5 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, that is, it promotes the warming of Earth’s atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are 250 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 5000 mi at a consumption rate of 20 miles per gallon.

One gallon of gasoline in an automobile's engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 7210 mi at a consumption rate of 18.6 miles per gallon. Enter your answer in scientific notation.
Suppose you have a car which gets 51 miles per gallon of gasoline in the city. Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline? (Note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gallon = 3.78541 L)
The volume of water in large scale reservoirs is often measured in units of an acre-foot, which is the amount of water covering one acre of surface to a depth of one foot. An acre-foot is equivalent to 43,560 ft³. A particular water tower in town was constructed to hold 2.95 acre-feet of water. What is the volume of water in liters that the water tower will hold? ( 1 US liquid gallon = 231 cubic inches, 3.785 liters = 1 US liquid gallon)
