I want you to consider your carbon footprint. (This is your personal effect on the environment.) You should do this by considering how much driving you do a year. (If you don’t have a car, then pick a close friend who does!)

First balance the equation which shows how the main component in gasoline reacts in your car and produces carbon: C8H18 + O2 rightwards arrow CO2 + H2O

Next calculate how much gasoline you use a year by estimating how many gallons you fill up in a month and then mutiplying by 12. The density of octane is 2660 g/gal. Next convert the number of grams to number of moles of octane, then convert to moles of CO2, and then convert to grams. Type up all your calculations in your post! the chapter is 3 I will up load Power-Points from professor

I drive a Yukon 2012 please use that as the vehicle.
