There's a lot of ways to come to an answer for this, but I'll go through what I would say is by far the easiest.

Firstly, 1 metric tonne = 1000kg. Gotta know that.


Secondly, let's just be smart about this for a minute. The whole thing is made of CO2. Nothing else. So the % weight of C in the whole thing is the SAME as the % weight of a carbon atom in a CO2 molecule.


So.
C = 12 weight
O = 16 weight.
CO2 = 44weight.


(100 / 44) x 12 = 27.27% (If you're not good with percentages, now is definitely the time to learn them. Chemistry uses them none-stop.)


So 27.27% of CO2 is carbon, by weight. Meaning 30% of our tonne of CO2 is also carbon, by mass.


(1000kg/100) x 27.27 = 272.7kg. That's your answer.

What is co2 equivalent of ammonia as greenhouse gas?

Ammonia, as many other gases, contributes to the "greenhouse effect". The mayor gas known to increase global warming through the greenhouse effect is CO2 (carbon dioxide), and to compare the potential of any given gas to the greenhouse effect, an equivalency is often used. This equivalency comes from the fact that a metric ton of CO2 pollutes the environment; so a metric ton of methane contribute to the greenhouse effect as much as 25 metric tons of CO2 would contribute. So, 1 metric ton of ammonia do as much damage to the planet as "CO2 equivalent of ammonia" metric tons of CO2.
