You must determine how many grams are in a tonne. You then must then use the
- molecular weight of carbon to determine the moles of carbon in that many grams
  - (i.e. (grams C)/(M.W. of C)). As there is one mole of Carbon in each mole of
    - carbon dioxide, then multiply the resulting moles of carbon by the molecular
      - weight of CO2 and you will have your answer. OR... One metric ton (tonne) of
        
        of carbon is equivalent to approximately 3.66 metric tons of carbon dioxide
