Take two identical pieces of paper.

Get 50 signatures on the pieces of paper.

Inside an airtight system burn the plain paper and the paper with signatures and record the amount of additional gas produced (I.e by using a gas syringe) once the system has cooled.

Take the difference in gas between the two if dm^3 and divide it by 24.

Multiply this by Avogadro's constant and ayy you got da mols.




Obviously I wanted to come up with a different method to you (Yours is clearly the best possible) and I'm not even sure if this one would work, given that O2 gas should be being used up at the same rate as CO2 is produced. But hey.

Assuming the paper burns cleanly (You'd need a supply of oxygen), H2O and CO2 would be formed. If there was carbon on the paper, there would be additional CO2 but a very tiny amount. I'd say almost negligible. You'd need a massive amount of signatures to maybe get the result within a few orders of magnitude, and not to mention, you'd need really accurate measuring instruments.

About your last point, since CO2 is heavier than O2, it should sink to the ground, and then a flame test or the lime-water test could be used to differentiate between the CO2 and O2.

Stop gravedigging this retarded thread

I'm interested to hear what classes as a non-retarded thread to you? Calling yourself a shit-poster and telling everyone you're a tranny? Fuck off.
