  Ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word ton or tonne is derived from the Old English tunne, and ultimately from the Old French tonne, and referred originally to a large cask with a capacity of 252 wine gallons, which holds approximately 2100 pounds of water.
The water ton was formerly used in Great Britain and equal to 224 imperial gallons (the volume occupied by a mass of one long ton under the conditions which define the imperial gallon).
A ton of TNT or tonne of TNT is equal to 1,000,000 grams (1 metric tonne) at a conventional energy value of 1000 small (thermochemical) calories per gram, thus 1 gigacalorie, or 4.184 gigajoules.

The share of imported petroleum in total commercial energy consumption has declined sharply from about 90% in 1980 to an estimated 55% in 1986 due to increased reliance on domestic gas and lignite for power generation and industry.
Lower oil prices, in addition to their disincentive effects on petroleum exploration, reduce the likeli- hood of additional contracts being successfully concluded over the next few years; without new contracts, the supply of gas is expected to start declining over the next five to seven years.

For petroleum, we typically use the formula CH This formula has a gram molecular weight of 13.5 (12 for C and 1.5 for a hydrogen and a half).
Calculating moles of the natural gas is a different story, since it is a gas, not a liquid or solid as is the case with petroleum and coal.
This will require a connector from the petroleum converter to the coal converter and a change to the coal converter so that its value is computed from the petroleum consumption.
