Chapter 5.8, Problem 2.4ACP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of ethanol would have to be burned to get the same energy of an octane and the fuel which reduces more ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ has to be identified

Concept Introduction:

Heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1k.Energy gained or lost can be calculated using the below equation.

  $\text{q=C×m×ΔT}$

Where,

  q= energy gained or lost for a given mass of substance (m),

  C =specific heat capacity

  $\text{ΔT}$= change in temperature
