Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 (in kg) the world produces from fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

[Review Topics] [References] Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. Ethanol, C2H,O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of hexane, C,H14, is 995.0 kcal/mol.

Write and balance the reaction for the complete combustion of butane, C4H10.
From the discussion question from Module 5, recall the chemical equation for the combustion of gasoline (iso-octane, C8H18) is: 2C8H18 + 25O2 ---> 16CO2 + 18H2O This means that 2 moles of iso-octane combine with 25 moles of CO2 to produce 16 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of water. This is important for understanding the impact of fossil fuel use on the atmosphere because burning one mole of fuel adds a lot of CO2. Thinking about this in terms of the stoichiometry, and change in concentration, suppose we had 1.0 mole of iso-octane dissolved in 1.0 m3 of atmosphere. That means the concentration of carbon-containing molecules would be 1 mole per cubic meter. However, ff we burned all that iso-octane and convert the C8H18 into CO2 the concentration of carbon-containing molecules increases. How much does the concentration of carbon-containing molecules increase if 1.0 mole of C8H18 in 1.0 m3 of air is converted into CO2 as shown in the chemical equation above?
Discuss the consequences of using fossil fuels as anenergy source.
High oil and gasoline prices have renewed interest in alternative methods of producing energy, including the “clean” burning of coal. Part ofwhat makes “dirty” coal dirty is its high sulfur content. Burning dirty coal produces sulfur dioxide (SO2), among other pollutants. Sulfurdioxide is oxidized in the atmosphere to form sulfur trioxide (SO3), which subsequently combines with water to produce sulfuric acid—amajor component of acid rain. Draw all possible resonance structures of sulfur trioxide.
