The theoretical amount of methane gas produced by anaerobic decomposition.
Answer to Problem 6.6P
The amount of methane gas produced by anaerobic decomposition is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Amount of material placed in landfill is
Calculation:
Calculate the amount of glucose.
Here, the amount of glucose in the land fill is
Substitute
Write the equation for the methane production from glucose.
Here, the stoichiometric constants are
The organic considered is glucose whose chemical formula is
Calculate the values of
Substitute
Write the expression to calculate the moles of methane produced from glucose.
Here, the moles of methane produced from glucose is
Substitute
Calculate the amount of cellulose.
Here, the amount of cellulose in the land fill is
Substitute
Write the equation for the methane production from cellulose.
Since, the organic considered is cellulose whose chemical formula is
Calculate the values of
Substitute
Write the expression to calculate the moles of methane produced from cellulose.
Here, the moles of methane produced from cellulose is
Substitute
Write the expression to calculate the methane produced from cellulose.
Here, the number of moles of methane produced from cellulose is
Substitute
Write the expression to calculate the methane produced from glucose.
Here, the number of moles of methane produced from glucose is
Substitute
Calculate the total methane produced.
Here, the total theoretical methane produced is
Substitute
Conclusion:
Thus, the total theoretical methane produced is
