How much co2 is in a gallon of gasoline?
A gallon of gasoline produces about 8.89 kilograms (or approximately 19.6 pounds) of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. This figure is based on the complete combustion of gasoline, which typically contains about 2.3 kg of carbon per gallon. When this carbon combines with oxygen during combustion, it results in the release of CO2.
How much carbon dioxide does a bus produce for each gallon of gas?
I can do this in metrics. One litre of gasoline (about 1/5 gallon) produces about 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Buses are usually more efficient in terms of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger than cars carrying just one or two passengers.
How much does sulfur dioxide weigh per gallon?
Sulfur dioxide weighs about 6.645 pounds per gallon.
What is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by burning one gallon of gasoline?
The answer is "8.8 kgs or 19.4 pounds of CO2 emissions by burning a gallon of gasoline". The answer and its detailed calculation can be found at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/420f05001.htm. You can also find the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by burning one gallon of diesel on this same web page.
How much would the carbon tax have to be on a gallon of gasoline to offset the carbon dioxide pollution?
Merely "taxing" gasoline does nothing to offset carbon dioxide "pollution". It might discourage the use of fossil fuels (and therefore discourage economic prosperity, if that's what you want). But in order to "offset" carbon dioxide emissions, the money thus collected has to be SPENT on something that will somehow REMOVE carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And I haven't heard of anything that the government plans to spend this money on.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide in 1 cubic foot?
I think it is 0.1227 pounds but I have seen 0.1144 pounds used.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound in the atmosphere. Total amount has to be in the trillions of pounds. There is a more in depth answer at the link below.
What is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by burning one pound of fossil fuels?
The amount of carbon dioxide emitted by burning one pound of fossil fuels varies depending on the type of fuel. On average, burning one pound of fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas can produce around 3-4 pounds of carbon dioxide.
What is the average pounds of carbon dioxide are emitted by a car annually?
It depends on the amount driven and the efficiency of the engine. Essentially 85% of the weight of fuel (gasoline or diesel) is carbon so about 750 g of carbon is emitted for each liter burnt.
How much carbon dioxide is emitted by burning one pound of coal?
Burning one pound of carbon releases about 3.6 pounds of carbon dioxide (the extra weight comes from oxygen from the air).
How much does a gal of frozen CO2 weigh?
The density of dry ice is about 1.5 g cm-3. Since there are 3785 cm3 in a gallon, a gallon of dry ice would weigh about 5.8 kg.
What is the amount of carbon monoxide emitted by burning one gallon of gasoline?
19 pounds
