A car has an efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gasoline where molecular formula of the gasoline is c8H18 and the heat released during combustion of the gasoline is -249.9KJ/mole. weight of one gallon of gasoline is 2.66kg. In order to get more mileage a man hooks up an electrolysis cell to the engine . The reaction in the cell is H2o--------H2 +o2. How much further will the car travel with electrolysis cell running
Assume the car travels for 1 hour at 15 miles per hour.Also an alternator provides 3 amps for 1 hour to electrolysis cell.Hint( you will need to write combustion reaction for gasoline and will also need to check up enthalpy values from table
