50 g of CO2 and 25 g of CH4 are produced from the decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW) with a formula weight of 120 g. What is the average per capita green house gas production in a city of 1 million people with a MSW production rate of 500 ton/day?
-
- 104 g/day
- 120 g/day
- 208 g/day
- 313 g/day
Correct Option: D
| MSW percapita = | = 500 g/capita. | |
| 1 × 106 |
120 g MSW produces 75 g green house gases (50g CO2, 25g CH4)
Therefore, 500 g MSW will produce 75/120 × 500 = 313 g green house gases.
