Assume the gasoline in an automobile is composed completely of octane, $C_{8} H_{18}(\ell),$ with a density of $0.69 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL} .$ If the automobile travels 168 miles with a gas mileage of $21.2 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{gal}$, how many kg of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ are produced assuming complete combustion of octane and excess oxygen?
