powdered sodium carbonate. The neutralisation reaction is described by the following equation.

Vehicles that, in controlled tests, have higher levels of carbon dioxide emission per kilometre travelled will be subject to higher levels of taxation. The measures are designed to encourage the purchase of cars that are more fuel-efficient and have lower CO2 emissions. (7) (9) (6) (3)
- 4. The manufacturer’s specification for a certain diesel-engined car is 143 g CO2 / km (i.e. the car produces 143 g of CO2 for every kilometre travelled). The car is used for morning and afternoon school runs totalling 8 km per day. Use the manufacturer’s CO2 emission figure to calculate the amount of CO2 produced each day during the school runs in terms of (i) the mass of CO2, (ii) the number of moles of CO2, (iii) the volume of CO2 at room temperature and pressure. (18) If a large SUV (sports utility vehicle) with a CO2 emission rating of 264 g CO2 / km were used instead of the car mentioned above, how many more litres of CO2 would be released into the atmosphere per day during the school runs?
