wehave 200 acres in indiana it has a 10ft vein coal we would like to know the number of tons per acre and its?

Its quite simple actually, and won't make me or anyone else who can figure it out a millionaire anytime soon, contrary to other answers. \n\nCm = CA-F * T/A-F\n\nCoal mass= (acre feet of coal) x (tons per acre foot)\n\nYou have 200 * 10, or 2000 acre feet. A resonable number to approximate tons per acre feet is 1800 T/A-F. I got this number from a EIA study of Illinois coal, which is of similar age and grade to Indiana coal. Here is that source:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/reserves/chapter2.html\n\nYou should have about 3,600,000 tons of coal. Total market value for Illinois basin coal with 11,800 Btu/ton and 5% SO2 has recently (March 2006) ranged \n$34.50 to $43.00 per short ton. Using $40 your coal has a gross value of about $144 million dollars. Net value will be considerably less since the cost of mining the coal is considerable and will vary according to regulatory compliance, thickness of overburden, and other market factors. It is also sometimes possible for a coal vein to not be laterally continuous or to vary in thickness. Some appraisal boreholes may have to be drilled to determine this. With that information an isochore map can be made and a more accurate appraisal can be done. \n\nThere is a good report from Purdue on Indiana coal at (pdf file):\nhttps://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/Research/PEMRG/CCTR/CoalReport-2006-3-14-06-Final.pdf\n\nHere are the current spot value quotes for coal:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/page/coalnews/coalmar.html#spot

Very few oil deposits are at 200 feet. These deposits are usually at depths measured in 1000's of feet. Many natural gas deposits are closer to miles below the surface.\n\nSome deposits, like the Canadian tar sands are at the surface.

depends where the area is. they may not even let you mine the area if the coal contains large amounts of sulfer or other impurities since pollution laws are stricter nowadays. i think the better option would be to just sell it to a mining company unless you want to start your own mine, i dont know how you would go about doing that.

i believe there are roughly 6000 acres in a square mile so I would say just under 9 square miles.

In the 1940s to 1960s the coal mining communities were really booming.  I live in an area in West Virginia that use to be the home of millionaires.  Now it is really sad.  It is not a really horrible place, but it tries its best to put on a good front.  The city of Bluefield WV was a hot spot then.  Check out coal mining communities today and yester year.  Also a place called Bramwell, WV might just bring ome interest to you.

One US ton is 2000 pounds. Now what was the question?

you will need its specfic heat of coal by searching abt it.\nthe formula for calculating heat energy is\n\nq=m *c *(t2-t1)\n take SI units . the temperature differene is 200 and m is 1 kg of coal .if specific heat c is 1, then heat energy will be 200 joules/.

1.00000 Acre = 43560 Square Feet.\nTherefore, an acre would be about 208 by 208 feet.

Convert metric tons to grams.  Divide by the molecular weight of CO2.  Multiply by Avagadro's number.  Use scientific notation.  It's a really big number.

I used to hunt the public areas in southeast Ohio that were owned by the coal mines , great locations . Look at the following web page gives all the areas in Ohio\nhttp://www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife/Hunting/wildlifeareas/wildare.htm

Coal is formed by decomposition of wood.

At the current rate of usage in the U.S., the known coal reserves are expected to last between 250 and 300 years.  Estimates will differ.  The U.S., Russia, and China have some of the largest coal reserves in the world.  Worldwide, however, coal is expected to last approximately 225 years at the current rate of usage.  Your question asks about an increase in usage of 3.1 percent per year.  The U.S. has approximately 275 billion tons of known coal reserves and used approximately 0.861 tons per person in 2000.  At a 3.1 percent increase per year in coal usage, I would estimate that this 275 billion tons would last until 2115, given no increase in population.  The U.S. population increases at a rate of approximately 1 percent per year.  Given this kind of increase in population and as such coal usage, I would estimate that the known coal reserves in the U.S. could diminish by 2095, about the same time as the oil reserves.  These are just guesses!

1 ton of diesel fuel contains 39,312,123 BTUs  or, in other words,   \n\ndiesel fuel  is 39,312,123 BTU/ton

http://www.mme.state.va.us/Dmm/Orphaned%20Mineral%20Mines/Docs/Orphaned%20Mineral%20Mines.htm\n\nEach year West Virginia mines and quarries produce 10 to 13 million tons of limestone and dolomite valued at between $40,000,000 and $53,000,000. These materials are used to make a wide variety of products, including: construction aggregate, agricultural lime, coal mine safety dust, fluxing agents, desulfurization sorbents for coal-fired power plants, lime, and acid neutralizers.

Coal is actually very inefficient as an energy source.  One ton (2000 lbs or 1000 kg +/-) of coal produces the same amount of heat energy as 18,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 160 gallons (1100 lbs) of oil, or 5 ounces of uranium.  Also coal produces much more waste than any of the other energy sources.

Peat yields 8.000 Million Btu/Ton according to the Department of Energy figures.  Dividing by 2,000 gives us 8 thousand BTU per pound.\n\nHope this helps!

There are 640 acres per square mile, which seems odd, until you look at how they used to divide acreage- 640 is a good number if you are cutting something up in consecutive halves.  So, 22,000 / 640 = yep, 34.375
