The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 
kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)
Answer: 
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of 
Thus 
of octane give =
of
Mass of 
Thus of is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.
Acetonitrile refers to the chemical compound exhibiting the formula CH₃CN. It is the basic organic nitrile and a colorless liquid. It is generated primarily as a byproduct of acrylonitrile production. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in the purification of butadiene and in organic synthesis.
The addition of water to cyanides generates amines and acids. Acetonitrile produces ammonia and acetic acid.
CH₃CN (acetonitrile) → CH₃COOH (acetic acid) + NH₃ (ammonia)
Answer:
No, it is not enthalpy favored since the chemical system gains energy.
Explanation:
The dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process.
Endothermic process requires the system to gain energy to can dissolve the particles in water.
So, the reaction is not enthalpy favored.
