  2. Methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

    Methane's heat of combustion is 55.5 MJ/kg. [25] Combustion of methane is a multiple step reaction summarized as follows: CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O (ΔH = −891 kJ/mol, at standard conditions) Peters four-step chemistry is a systematically reduced four-step chemistry that explains the burning of methane.

    Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 2 O.It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, [c] and nearly colorless chemical substance.It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent [20]).

  6. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls. [19]

  7. Cobalt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt

    [188] [189] Bacteria in the stomachs of ruminant animals convert cobalt salts into vitamin B 12, a compound which can only be produced by bacteria or archaea. A minimal presence of cobalt in soils therefore markedly improves the health of grazing animals, and an uptake of 0.20 mg/kg a day is recommended, because they have no other source of ...

    2 is around 0.80 kg (1.8 lb) CO 2 per kg finished cement. Electrical power generation Varies with local power source. Typical electrical energy consumption is on the order of 90–150 kWh per tonne cement, equivalent to 0.09–0.15 kg (0.20–0.33 lb) CO 2 per kg finished cement if the electricity is coal-generated.
