27.0 lb CO2 per US gallon of heating oil 15.0 lb CO2 per therm or 100 cubic feet of natural gas 1.7 lb CO2 per kwh of electricity 1.2 lb CO2 per dollar spent in the USA, average 1.67 lb CO2 per passenger mile on flights of 500 or 8,300 miles ...
To offset the carbon released by driving a gas-guzzling SUV 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year, therefore, it probably takes at least 35 medium-sized healthy trees to convert CO2 into wood. ATMOSPHERIC CARBON CYCLE The carbon that is pulled out of the atmosphere by the trees stays bound up ...
Calculate the mass of CO2emitted (in lbs) when 1 gallon of octane is burned. Combustion Reaction: A combustion reaction is a specific type of chemical reaction that involves the burning of hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Sometimes the...
The two selected slurries with a density of 15.8 pounds per gallon (ppg) for this study. These slurries are mixed in freshwater (MW) as well as salt-saturated water (SS). To accommodate all slurries for long term testing and also allow sufficient samples to capture variation statistically, ...

If you burn 6.9 L of octane gas (C8H18) at 300 K and 0.68 atm, how many grams of water will you produce? 2C8H18+25O2→16CO2+18H2O Combustion Reactions:A combustion reaction for hydrocarbons has a specific s...
You get about 20 lbs of CO2 per gallon of gas, so using your yearly estimate of 600 gallons, we get 11.53 gallons/week which generates about 230 lbs of CO2 week for the ICD. That jibes with my understanding of an EV using around half the amount of fossil fuel per ...
gallon of fuel if I purchase a car with a diesel engine instead of one with a gas burning engine. This is very important with the price of gas being as high as it is. Of course, diesel is high, but I think with the extra miles per gallon the diesel is the better choice in this...
