An engine emits about 5lbs of Carbon atoms in the form of Carbon dioxoide molecules for every gallon of gas it consumes. The average American car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. Using this information, check the statement that the average American car releases its own weight in carbon into the atmosphere each year. What are some assumptions that you can make to solve this problem?
For every 5lb of the car's weight = 1 gallon of gas
the average weight of a car = 4000lbs
the average miles per gallon = 23.6
With this information, you can use conversions to determine how many gallons of gas that car requires to go 12000 miles.
4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight
acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3)
and nitrogen monoxide (NO).
How many kg of CO2 are emitted from an automobile that completely combusts all the gasoline in its
16.5 gallon fuel tank? You may assume that gasoline is entirely octane, which has the following
combustion equation:
2 C3H18 (1) + 25 O2 (g) → 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H20 (g)
Useful information:
• 1 gallon = 3.7854 L.
• This combustion occurs in excess O2.
• The density of octane is p =703 g/L.
• The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol.
• The molar mass of octane is 114.23 g/mol.

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardPropane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel. (a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. (b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: we will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gasesfor now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of 2 per liter.) (c) The heat of combustion of propane is 2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, Hf of propane given that Hf of H2O(l)=285.8 kJ/mol and Hf of CO2(g)=393.5 kJ/mol. (d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.arrow_forward

- The reaction between SO3 (g) and CO2 (g) is based on the chemical equation below. 2 SO3 (g) + CO2 (g) = CS2 (g) + 4 O2 (g) At 500 oC, we mix 0.20 mol SO3 (g) 0.25 mol CO2 (g) and 1.20 mol O2 (g) (without CS2 (g)) initially in a 1-L bottle.
