  1. CHEM 304 – 3/16/12 Your “Personal Carbon Footprint” Assignment - Chemical Mass & Energy Balance - Some specifics Exam #1 Average =

  2. For methane combustion: CH4 + 2 O2 —> 2 H2O + CO2 If 1000 g of CH4 are burned: i) How many grams of H2O are produced? ii) How many grams of CO2 are produced?

  3. For methane combustion: CH4 + 2 O2 —> 2 H2O + CO2 + 890 kJ If 1000 kg (1 metric ton) of CH4 is burned, how much heat (energy) is produced? How many grams of CH4 is burned if 105 megajoules (105 x 106 J)* of energy are produced? How much CO2? *(this is 1 “THERM” – the unit on a utility bill!)

  4. Converting to kJ (per day) or g (per day)
