If they are "short tons" exactly 12,000 pounds. If they are metric tons or "long tons" slightly more: 13,440 pounds. A short ton is equal to 2,000 lbs. and a metric ton is equal to 1,000 kg. Notice whichever kind it is, they are within 10% of each other. See the Web Links about tons to the left for more about the kinds of tons. Note also, it doesn't matter that the CO2 is liquid solid or gas. The mass is the same regardless.
There are roughly 0.121 pounds of carbon dioxide in one cubic foot.
There are currently around 3.15 trillion pounds (1.43 trillion kilograms) of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.
Burning one pound of coal emits approximately 2.86 pounds of carbon dioxide.
Approximately 8 pounds of shortening equal 1 gallon of liquid.
One gallon of liquid beeswax weighs approximately 8.5 pounds.
18 gallons of water is 150.3 pounds.
The answer depends on what the pressure is.
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 (tonnes) of carbon dioxide.

Assuming that coal is essentially pure carbon, each 12 kg of coal will combust to form 44 kg of carbon dioxide (C+O2 -->CO2) a bit more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as coal. A ton of carbon will burn to form about 3 tones of carbon dioxide.
We produce 1.37 pounds of carbon dioxide with every kilowatt of energy consumed.
On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
