How do I convert the following gallons to the appropriate quantities?

Question

I'm trying to figure out CO2 emissions for Liquid Propane, I had 137 gallons how do I figure out what the co2 was on it?

LP gas (kg) 3.0065 kg-CO2/kg

LP gas (m3) 6.53 kg-CO2/m3

Answer 1

CORRECTED THANKS TO ANOTHER USER!!

Liquid Propane has an approximate density of 0.5077 kg/liter liquid

Both CO2 and Propane have a molecular weight of about 44  but  3 molecules of CO2 ar formed for every molecule of Propane burned.. so the  conversion is (3*44)/44 or

       3.00 kg CO2 formed per kg Propane burned so..

137 gallons (US) x 3.785 liters /gallon(US)  x 0.5077 kg propane/Liter liquid propane  x 3.00 kg CO2/kg propane

789 kg CO2 is released when you burn 137 gallons of propane

How did you arrive at 2081 kg?  I think you forgot that liquid propane is less dense  than water..

Answer 2

0.00029848 tons  is your total CO2 emission  

Answer 3

Your first problem is to determine whether you are talking Imperial gallons or US "short" gallons.

Answer 4

That would depend on what gallons you have.

Why not just convert it to Litres first?
