The formula for ethanol is CH3CH2OH
So for each mole of ethanol burnt it produces 2 moles of carbon dioxide
1 Mole of ethanol is 46 g
2 moles of carbon dioxide is (2 x 44 g) 88 g
So each gram of ethanol produces 1.9 grams of carbon dioxide on combustion

How much Co2 does running a TV produce?
A flat panel television does not produce any carbon dioxide during normal operation. The carbon footprint of operating an LCD TV is estimated at 215 kg per year on average.
How much CO2 does your dryer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
How much CO2 does playing a computer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
How much money does it take to produce 9oz of carbon dioxide?
We humans breath out carbon dioxide when we exhale...therefore it's free right? Now, measuring exactly 9oz of it will be hard unless you have like a science lab or something. Hope I helped!
How much carbon can 22 grams of carbon dioxide make?
6 grams
How much CO2 does a car running on ethanol fuel produce?
Assuming the fuel is 100% ethanol the reaction is: C2H5OH +3O2 --> 2CO2+3H20 or 1 mole of ethanol (46 g) creates 2 moles (44 x 2=88) of carbon dioxide The density of ethanol is 0.78 g/cm3 or .78 kg/L So the amount of carbon dioxide created by a car fueled by ethanol is about 1.56 kg/liter used. This excludes CO2 from ethanol manufacture.
How can ethanol reduce carbon emissions?
Ethanol is a fuel made from plants. When we burn this fuel, it does emit carbon dioxide, but of course this was originally absorbed from the atmosphere by the plants, so there is no net increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide no matter how much ethanol we use (apart from a small amount produced by generating electricity used in the production of the ethanol). A disadvantage of using ethanol for motor fuel is that its production competes with food crops.
How much carbon dioxide will be produced when one kilo of pure carbon burned?
C + O2 -------> CO2 12g of carbon produces 44g of carbon dioxide 1kg of carbon will produce 3-67kg of carbon dioxide
Since we can make the very same ethanol fuel from cultivated grains with standard processes and from uncultivated biomass using bacteria why does one way produce less net carbon in the atmosphere?
First of all, you have to understand that the whole grain-ethanol thing is more of a back-door subsidy for corn farmers than an environmental initiative. That said, I'm not sure that either method of making ethanol results in a net reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In the case of grain ethanol, it takes fossil fuels (in the form of diesel) to grow the corn. And some estimate that it takes more diesel fuel just to grow the corn than will be replaced by the resulting ethanol. So, you would be better off, in terms of fossil fuel usage, to just burn the diesel in cars and trucks. But fossil fuels are not the only fuels that put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Burning ethanol also releases carbon dioxide. Maybe not as much as fossil fuels, but whatever it produces would have to be added to the carbon dioxide that was produced in growing the corn. And that is most certainly more than the carbon dioxide that would have been produced by burning the fossil fuel directly in automobiles. In the case of uncultivated biomass, you don't have tractors and other fossil-fuel-burning equipment contributing to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, the process of converting uncultivated biomass to ethanol is much more energy-intensive than converting grain to ethanol. So you still have quite a bit of fossil fuel burning required to produce the ethanol. And you still have all the carbon dioxide released when the ethanol itself is burned.
How much CO2 does a train produce?
On average 258.63g of Carbon Dioxide a day
Do cars or houses produce more carbon dioxide?
Cars produce much more than houses.
How much carbon dioxide does a 1996 jeep produce?
Any automobile produces about 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide per liter of fuel consumed.
How much carbon dioxide does 1 liter of petrol produce?
Typically 2.31 kg.
Do cars produce a carbon footprint?
Yes. Your carbon footprint is the measure of how much carbon dioxide equivalent you, or any of your activities produce. A car burns petrol (gasoline) so its use has a carbon footprint.
How much carbon dioxide is produced by the ocean?
The oceans are regarded as carbon dioxide sinks, not sources. This means they remove carbon dioxide, not produce it. Carbon dioxide dissolves from the air into ocean water. Once there it is removed by plankton and algae, by corals and mollusks in making shells, and by chemical action.
Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?
No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.
