It is desired to compute the global emissions of carbon


It is desired to compute the global emissions of carbon that resulted from oil and gas production in 1986. Worldwide oil production in 1986 was 5.518*10^7 barrels day^-1 and worldwide gas production in the same year was 6.22*10^13 ft^3 yr^-1. for oil a density of 0.85 g cm^-3 can be assumed. Assume that oil has an average composition of C10H22. A barrel has a volume of 0.16 m^3. Assume that the gas produced is entirely methane. Calculate global emission from each in g(C)yr^-1
