Homework Statement


Hello everybody,
Can you help me solve this:
Coal-burning power plants convert the sulfur in the coal to sulfur dioxide
(SO2), a regulated air pollutant. The maximum allowable SO2 emission for new
power plants (i.e., the maximum allowed ratio of the mass of SO2 emitted per
input of fuel energy) is 0.80 lbm/(million Btu). Convert this emission factor to
units of grams per joule!

Thanks for the response :)
