Octane, C8H18, can be used as a representative compound for gasoline.a. Is the combustion of octane a source or sink of a GHG? Explain.b. Write and balance the chemical equation for the combustion of octanec. Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the completecombustion of 1.0 gallon of gasoline, assuming the fuel is only octane.• Things to think about: How will you start this problem? Notice that youare not given grams initially, you are given 1.0 gallon. What conversionwill you use to get between gallons and grams? There are 3.785 litersin a gallon. Use 0.703 g/mL as the density of octane.
