Answer:
• 36.4 kg of coal.
• 80 pounds of coal.
Explanation:
Using proportionality constant,
Mass of coal = 1,000,000/27,500,000 btus/metric ton
= 0.0364 metric tons of coal
Mass of coal = 1,000,000/25,000,000 btus/ton
= 0.04 tons of coal.
Converting metric tons to kilogram,
1 metric ton = 1000kg,
0.0364 metric ton;
= 36.4 kg of coal.
Converting tons to pounds,
1 ton = 2000 pounds,
0.04 metric ton;
= 80 pounds of coal.
The amount of coal required will be 36.4 kg
Calculating the amount of coal required:
According to the question,
Mass of coal required to produce 1 million BTUs metric tons of heat is
= 1,000,000/27,500,000 BTUs/metric ton
M = 0.0364 metric tons of coal
Now, one metric ton equals 1000 kg.
So we need to convert the above quantity from tons to kilograms
Converting metric tons to kilogram,
1 metric ton = 1000kg,
Therefore,
0.0364 metric ton = 36.4 kg of coal.
So, the amount of coal required to produce 1 million BTUs of heat will be 36.4 kg.
