A typical seven passenger minivan has a mass of 3.00 x 10^3?3?? kg and can accelerate from 0.0-60.0 mph in 12 s using energy from the combustion of octane (about 30.0% efficient). Calculate the mass of CO_2?2??(g) emissions released during this 12 s acceleration. (Assume the total energy of the minivan is kinetic energy. \Delta?H^o_{rxn}?rxn?o?? of octane = –5074.1 kJ).
