A proposed chemical composition for anthracite coal is C 240 H 90 O 4 NS. The stoichiometry

Question:

A proposed chemical composition for anthracite coal is C240H90O4NS. The stoichiometry for a biochemical reaction of anthracite with water is as follows:

C240 H90 O4NS + xHO  aCH4 + bCO2 + NO + SODetermine the maximum thermodynamically allowed value of the extent of conversion of anthracite to methane, and is the value of a, for this reaction if no nutrients or other energy sources are provided. How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced per mole of coal (that is, the value of b)?
