compared to our alternative?
Based on the data that we have
collected, our dream car, 2015
393,848.1576g C8H18 1 mol C8H18 16 mol CO2 22.4L CO2 BMW M4, is not as environmentally
friendly as our other car (2020
Tesla Model X). This is because our
114g C8H18 2 mol C8H18 1 mole CO2 dream car the 2015 BMW M4
produces almost four times more
liters of CO2 compared to our
BMW M4: 2,413,659.87072L CO2 alternative car, the 2020 Tesla
Model X, due to it being a electric
car rather than Our dream car
Tesla Model X: 619,101.66528L CO2
which is the BMW M4.
