Question

The gas tank of a 2013 Honda Accord holds 17.2 gallons. How many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced by

burning an entire tank of gas

Answer 1

First you need to know how many pounds of carbon dioxide you get when burning 1 gallon of gasoline. That number is 19.64 pounds

To get the number of pounds released when entire tank is burned you need to multiply gas tank volume and number of pounds you get when 1 gallon is burned.

17.2 * 19.64 = 337.808
