When permafrost melts it relases methane gas. A typical methane emmission rate might be 250mg to (2 significant figures) of methane emitted through 1 m2 of ground surface per day, calculate the mass of methane that would be emitted from a piece of ground that is the size of a football pitch during a 12 week summer period. Express in SI units using scientific notation to an appropriate no of significant figures the area is 6500 m2 to 2 significant figures.
