In 2010, 3.30 × 10 9 gallons of gasoline were consumed in the United States. The following assumptions can be made: • Gasoline is mainly n-octane, C 8 H 18 ( d = 0.7028 g / mL ) . • Burning one mole of n-octane in oxygen releases 5564.2 kJ of heat. • The heat capacity C of the surface region of the earth is 2.6 × 10 23 J/K. What is the increase in temperature of the surface region of the earth due to gasoline consumption in the United States?
