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.
What else can I help you with?
How much does it cost to produce 1 gallon of ethanol?
it takes 1.5 gallons of fossil fuel to produce 1 gallon of ethanol.
How much energy does it take to make ethanol fuel?
The energy required to produce ethanol fuel varies depending on the production process, but it typically takes about 0.25-0.3 kWh of energy to produce one liter of ethanol. This includes energy inputs for growing and harvesting the feedstock, processing it into ethanol, and distilling the ethanol.
How much ethanol does fermenting 100g of sugar produce?
Ethanol produces around 80% by fermenting 100g of sugar produce.
How much energy does it take to produce a gallon of ethanol?

How much Ethanol is in the fuel NASCAR uses or if any?
I don't believe that NASCAR is using ethanol. I know F1 race cars use it.
How much does Ethanol reduce emissions?
they have found that e85 does not reduce emissons as much as one would see affectave.. this is so because it takes fuel and emissions to produce the ethanol, so in a way it is almost sending all the emisions that the car would otherwise prevent in to the air... this is just the beginning of new fuel scorces yet to come in the us.. many companies are finding and reserching new tecnologies to make viehicles more fuel efficent...
What pollutes more diesel fuel or ethanol fuel?
Diesel fuel emitts much higher emissions. It emitts high smog and particualte matter. That'll be diesal fuel darling. Madgenta
How much fuel does the average car produce a year?
Produce means to make/manufacture. Cars dont produce fuel - please restate the question.
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.
Is ethanol combustible?
Yes, ethanol is combustible and can be used as a fuel in engines and for heating purposes. It is a renewable biofuel that is produced from plant materials, such as corn or sugarcane.
How much cellulose does it take to produce 1 gallon of fuel?
The amount of cellulose required to produce 1 gallon of fuel can vary significantly depending on the conversion process and the type of biomass used. On average, it is estimated that around 2,500 to 3,000 grams of cellulose are needed to produce 1 gallon of ethanol through fermentation. However, this figure can fluctuate based on the efficiency of the technology used and the specific feedstock involved.
Does fermentation cheese whey produce more than 50 percent of ethanol?
Absolutely not. The fermentation process typically yields but 5% ethanol. Some claim to have derived as much as 10% ethanol during the fermentation process, but, these claims have yet to verified.
