- An engine emits about 5lbs of Carbon atoms in the form of Carbon dioxoide molecules for every gallon of gas it consumes. The average American car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. Using this information, check the statement that the average American car releases its own weight in carbon into the atmosphere each year. What are some assumptions that you can make to solve this problem? For every 5lb of the car's weight = 1 gallon of gas the average weight of a car = 4000lbs the average miles per gallon = 23.6 With this information, you can use conversions to determine how many gallons of gas that car requires to go 12000 miles.arrow_forwardThe toy rockets were engineered so well that now you have dreams of creating a real life replica that can carry people to the space station. Aspirations of becoming rich and famous overcome your thoughts. You know that when this compound (Ammonium perchlorate) is heated at 200 C, it breaks down to a variety of gasses, including N2(g), Cl2(g), O2(g), and H2O(g). You know that the rocket will fly due to the sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume that will result from the rapid increase in the pressure and temperature. What total pressure of gas would be able to be produced at 800 C by igniting 7.0X10^5 kg of NH4ClO4 and allowing it to expand to a volume of 6.4X10^6 L?
