Convert cubic foot of natural gas to ton of coal

Learn how to convert 1 cubic foot of natural gas to ton of coal step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f n a t u r a l g a s) = x (t o n o f c o a l)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f n a t u r a l g a s) = 1055055.85262 (j o u l e) = 1055055.85262 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (t o n o f c o a l) = 2.9288 \times 10^{10} (j o u l e) = 2.9288 \times 10^{10} (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f n a t u r a l g a s) = x (t o n o f c o a l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1055055.85262 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1055055.85262 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1055055.85262 \cdot (J) = x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1055055.85262 = x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10}

Switch sides

x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} = 1055055.85262

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}})

x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \times \frac{1.0}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}} = 1055055.85262 \times \frac{1.0}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}}

Cancel

x \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \times \frac{1.0}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}} = 1055055.85262 \times \frac{1.0}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1055055.85262}{2.9288 \times 10^{10}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{10}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 10}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 10} \times 1055055.85262}{2.9288}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000360235 \approx 3.6023 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c u b i c f o o t o f n a t u r a l g a s) \approx 3.6023 \times 10^{- 5} (t o n o f c o a l)
