As we have seen, scientists have grown progressively more worried about the potential for global warming caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane and calculate how much in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately of how long will it take for the worlds fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
