    The document compares the environmental impact of two cars - a 2019 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ and a 1995 White Mercedes-Benz Sprinter - by calculating the grams of octane fuel consumed and the resulting liters of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by each vehicle, determining that the Bugatti produces more CO2 at 4,183,119 liters versus 3,826,024 liters for the Mercedes, making the Bugatti less environmentally friendly.

    Calculations
    -Explanation of work-
    -From #4, we deduced that the dream car produced
    2,661,136.2 grams of octane while the other car produced
    Dream Car
    2,433,966.0 grams of octane when rounded. In order to
    convert these numbers into liters of CO2, we first placed
    our answers from #4 into the first box(as shown on the
    right) as they were in the form of grams of octane.

    -We then looked at the periodic table to find the molar Other Car
    mass of octane which came out to be 114. Since we were
    converting to moles first, the 114 went to the denominator.
    After that we had to return back to the chemical equation
    for the combustion of octane
    2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

    ← Continued →
    -Explanation of work-
    -When balanced, the coefficient of octane was 2 while
    Dream Car the coefficient of CO2 was 16. Since the molar mass of
    octane was on the denominator and we still had another
    CO2 octane to cancel out from the numerator, we decided to
    put the 2 moles of C8H18in the denominator and the 16
    mol of CO2 in the numerator

    Other Car -Lastly, we needed to convert the moles into liters,


    which we did by multiplying 22.4 to the numerator
    which got us to our final answer for both cars. Our
    CO2 dream car produced 4,183,119.36 liters of CO2 while our
    other car produced 3,826,023.805 liters of CO2

    Conclusion:
    Which car is better environmentally?

    Our first dream car, which was the Bugatti Chiron


    Super Sport 300+, produced 4,183,119.36 liters of
    CO2 in total. The vehicle needed 2,091,559 of 2 liter
    bottles to contain the carbon dioxide, whereas for the
    other car, the amount of liters of CO2 produced was
    3,826,023.805 liters of CO2 in total and needed
    1,913,011.903 of 2 liter bottles to contain. Although
    carbon dioxide is a natural element that helps
    regulate the environment, it can be very unsafe as
    well. An excessive amount of carbon dioxide
    exposed into the atmosphere can cause substantial
    negative effects towards plant growth. This is
    because it significantly attains the sun’s heat in which
    it raises the temperature in the environment. This
    also leads to climate change because it pollutes the
    air. Since the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ car
    produced more CO2 than the White Mercedes-Benz
    Sprinter car, our dream car is not environmentally
    friendly.
