Question

Recall that the energy produced per liter of ethanol is 5.04 × 103 kcal/L and the energy produced per liter of octane is 7.41 × 103 kcal/L.

To travel the same distance (i.e., to produce the same amount of energy), which fuel will produce less greenhouse gas?

What volume in liter of ethanol would have to be burned to get the same energy as 1.00 L of octane?

To get the same energy as 1.00 L of octane, how many grams of CO2 would have been produced by burning ethanol?

Explanation / Answer

To travel the same distance (i.e., to produce the same amount of energy), which fuel will produce less greenhouse gas?

less greenhouse effect, is that which contains more energy per unit mass

that is octane

What volume in liter of ethanol would have to be burned to get the same energy as 1.00 L of octane?

1*(7.41*10^3)/(5.04*10^3) = 1.47 liter are needed

To get the same energy as 1.00 L of octane, how many grams of CO2 would have been produced by burning ethanol?

1.47 liter of ethanol were needed so

D = .890

mass = 1.47*0.890 = 1.31 g of CO2
