Question

Decane ($$C_{10}H$$_{22}) is a component of diesel. Assuming diesel is 100% decane, the complete combustion of decane produces CO_{2} and $$H_{2}O$$, and the density of decane is 0.73 g/mL, calculate the mass of CO_{2} (in kg) produced if the yearly diesel consumption of the U.S. is 1.78 × $$10^{11} L.$$

Accepted Answer

4.02 × $$10^{11} kg$$

Answer

2.99 × $$10^{11} kg$$

Answer

5.43 × $$10^{11} kg$$

Answer

6.17 × $$10^{11} kg$$

Decane (C10H22) is a component of diesel. Assuming diesel is 100% decane, the complete combustion of decane produces CO2 and H2O, and the density of decane is 0.73 g/mL, calculate the mass of CO2 (in kg) produced if the yearly diesel consumption of the U.S. is 1.78 × 1011 L.

Decane (C₁₀H₂₂) is a component of diesel. Assuming diesel is 100% decane, the complete combustion of decane produces CO₂ and H₂O, and the density of decane is 0.73 g/mL, calculate the mass of CO₂ (in kg) produced if the yearly diesel consumption of the U.S. is 1.78 × 10¹¹ L.
