How Much CO₂ Is Equivalent to 1 Ton of Carbon?
From atomic mass calculations: CO₂ molecular weight = C (12) + O₂ (16×2) = 44 Carbon’s proportion in CO₂ = 12/44 ≈ 0.273 (~27.3%) Therefore, 12 grams of carbon is contained in 44 grams of carbon. 1 gram of carbon is contained in 44/12 grams of carbon. 1 ton of carbon is contained in (44/12) […]
