A large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2600 kg.
Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 66.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency.
C8H18(l) + 25/2 O2(g) → 8 CO2(g) + 9 H2O(g) ∆Hc = -5074.1 kJ
Hint: Use KE = ½ mv2 to calculate the kinetic energy after acceleration.
mass of CO2 = ___ g
