The mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.
The given parameters:
- <em>Density of the octane, ρ = 0.703 g/ml</em>
- <em>Volume of octane, v = 3.79 liters</em>
<em />
The mass of the octane burnt is calculated as follows;
The combustion reaction of octane is given as;
From the reaction above:
228.46 g of octane -------------------> 704 g of CO₂ gas
2,664.37 of octane --------------------> ? of CO₂ gas
Thus, the mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.
