The running engine of an automobile produces carbon monooxide (CO), a toxic gas, at the rate of about 188 g CO per hour. A car is left idling at 20 ºC in a poorly ventilated garage that is 6.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 2.2 m high. Calculate the rate of CO production in moles per minute. How long would it take to build up a lethal concentration of CO of 1000 ppmv (parts per million by volume)?
