For the oil
Mineral oil has a density of around 0.8 g/cm3, "good" crude oil of around 0.8 - 0,83 g/cm3 and "heavy" crude oil is above 0,92 g/cm3
Crude oil consists (by weight) of 83% to 87% carbon.
One barrel is about 159 liters. Assuming a density of 0,85g/cm3 for our oil we would end up with 135 kg of oil, which contains on the higher end (87% carbon) 118 kg of carbon.
For the carbon dioxide:
Carbon Standard atomic weight: 12.0107(+/- 0.00008) g·mol−1
Oxygen Standard atomic weight: 15.9994(+/- 0.00003) g·mol−1
Lets say: Carbon = 12 and 2 x Oxygen = 2 x 16 = 32 => Total: 44
(12/44 = 27.27% of Carbon in CO2)
---------------------------------
Assuming that all the carbon will find its oxygen to form CO2, that would be 433 kg of carbon dioxide.
With above assumptions:
1 barrel of oil could produce 433 kg of carbon dioxide.

accordine to edi energy a tonne of oil produces 7,895 lbs per tonne
It's 9 gallons per barrel of oil.
Water (H2O) and Carbon dioxide (CO2)
2.6 Kg of CO2
[ 34.3(gC3H8) / 44(g/mol C3H8)] * [ 3mol CO2 / 1molC3H8 ] * 44(g/mol CO2) = 103 gram CO2
Taking coal to contain 50 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen during burning to form CO2, we can arrive at 1.83 kg CO2 for every 1 kg of coal burned. Another way to put it, taking the efficiency of power stations into account, is that 950 grams of CO2 is evolved for every KWh of electricity produced. Note that for natural gas it is more like 600 g per KWh for natural gas powered plants.
Around 3 pounds of CO2 are emitted by open air burning of one pound of tire.
co2
Water (H2O) and Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Burning one 20lb tire releases 60lbs of CO2.
44 grams of CO2 (1 mol CO2 from 1 mol C if enough oxygen, air, is available)
2.6 Kg of CO2
[ 34.3(gC3H8) / 44(g/mol C3H8)] * [ 3mol CO2 / 1molC3H8 ] * 44(g/mol CO2) = 103 gram CO2

It goes into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The heat produced by burning fuel comes from forming the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds that creates CO2.
Burning carbohydrates for energy in the muscles produces CO2 and H2O as by-products. These are then dissolved into the blood, and exhaled by the lungs. [This is why you need a pee after about an hour's exercise.]
The products produced when burning methane (CH4) are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
