Assume that an incorrectly adjusted lawn mower is operated in a garage such that the combustion reaction in the engine is:

C8H18 + (17/2)O2 -> 8CO + 9H2O

If the dimensions of the garage are 3.0 by 5.0 by 5.0 meters, how many grams of gasoline must be burned to raise the level of CO in the air to 1000 ppm by volume at STP?
