Carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which then leads to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This gas captures heat (greenhouse gas), so the temperature rises on earth (global warming). If there are 3.2 kg of fuel in a gallon of octane (C8H18) and idling for 15 minutes twice a day Monday- Friday burns half a gallon of gas a day, how many grams of fuel do you use in a week. Then convert the grams to carbon dioxide to determine the amount of carbon dioxide produced by all this idling.

Use this equation after balancing: C8H18+ O2 -> CO2 + H2O
