The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (

in kg) of carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere per 1.0 kg of octane burned. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.)

Answer:

3.09kg

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol

Mass of C8H18 from the balanced equation = 2 x 114 = 228g

Converting 228g of C8H18 to kg, we obtained:

228/1000 = 0.228kg

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 16 x 44 = 704g

Converting 704g of CO2 to kg, we obtained:

704/1000 = 0.704kg

From the equation,

0.228kg of C8H18 produced 0.704kg of CO2.

Therefore, 1kg of C8H18 will produce = 0.704/0.228 = 3.09kg of CO2
