Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7. Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87). We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!
What is the caloric balance equation? (5 points) The Caloric Balance Equation is the balance of the amount of calories that are consumed through food and the amount of calories used through daily activities and exercise. 4. Do you think you are in caloric balance?
1 For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, 2  but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will. 3  Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required. 4  If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. 5  In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.
