Your video is quite informative this could really help me in a study I'll be conducting, I do have three questions though. You mentioned in another comment that to calculate the co2 in terms of distance, you'd have to know the fuel consumption. So my questions are, how would you compute the fuel consumption manually (given if you don't have functions in your car that shows the fuel consumption) and how would you compute the co2 emission relative to fuel consumption? Would the type of fuel matter in these calculations, like if the fuel used was diesel and not gasoline?
The distance travelled could probably be measured using the car’s built in KM counter. Id probably fill the car up fully and drive until I’m almost empty, siphon out the rest to calculate how much was consumed, divide the distance driven by the fuel used. If the fuel was diesel you’d have to find out the formula for diesel (C12H23) and apply that to the equation.
So, are you calculating whats coming out of a 69 Mustang/w no exhaust cleaning, or a modern Californian auto with very extreme exhaust cleaning? A bit confused. I'm guessing the Californian is going to put less in the atmosphere then the Mustang, correct?
The 2.17 kg is based on the amount of fuel consumed not distance traveled. To determine the CO2 produced every kilometer you need to factor in your car's fuel efficiency. Most modern cars have a function that enables you to see your fuel consumption. However, how that information is displayed varies from region to region. If you could tell me the fuel consumption of your vehicle I could show you how to calculate CO2 emissions based on distance.

Why does this not equal the manufacturer’s g/km number. The g/km is rated at 218g/km. Reverse the steps and it’s 10L/100Km but the government rated the car at 9.1L/100km which is 197.5g/km.
@@business-mjWhat must combine with the carbon based fossil fuel to burn? The oxygen is already there in the atmosphere. You aren’t adding oxygen, you are adding carbon. Gas = carbon and hydrogen. You watch the actual video? Jeez
Its actually amazingly well explained! Thank you sir!
Excellent explanation! Thank you for sharing!

Super. Simply excellent. 👏👏👏
is there a practical example of this working? like.... can you catch it at the tail pipe and weigh it?

Hi pls help me with my sci hw! The 2.17 kg - what's the distance travelled?

I feel theres a small mathematical error towards the end of the video..
Can you please double check..?
Thank you. 😊
Informative
The oxygen was already there. So you aren’t emitting the oxygen weight you put in…
3 litre engine can put out easily 20kg of co2 100km
5:44 You are adding carbon to the air, you are not adding oxygen to the air
