A biogas-plant converts biomass into methane. From a certain substrate, 52% (w/w) methane can be obtained. a) How many biomass (in kg) is needed, to produce 2500kg of methane? b) This methane is now burnt. Write down the correct reaction equation. c) How many mol and kg of each product will theoretically result from the 2500kg methane? d) What mass of carbon dioxide (in kg) will be theoretically produced by 1000kg of this biomass?
