Question
If we assume Coal is 70% carbon and 30% inert materials that don't combust, when burned the equation is C+O2→CO2 + 95 kilocalories per mole of carbon (1 mole = 12 grams). How many Btu's are released by burning 1 ton (1000 kg) of coal?

Adsorption Isotherm Curve: The low pressure (beginning region) of an adsorption isotherm curve can be approximated with a linear equation of the form: X₁* = K x P₁. The data in the table below provides laboratory measured values of the partial pressure of an adsorbate P¡ versus the mass fraction of adsorbate on the adsorbent X;*. Determine the value of K for the equation above using the data in the table, and also provide the r-squared value of this linear equation fit.
