Well Boxy there is no cubic ton LOL, cubic is volume tonnage is mass equivalent to weight in this case.

We know Albany graphite has a density of 2.25g/cubic centimeter.

There are 12 grams of carbon per mole of carbon atoms (hence the atomic #12)

1 mole of carbon atoms = 6.023E23 atom (a very big number)

so 1 cc of graphite = 2.25/12 x 6.023E23 = about 1.13E23 or about

113,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

Now if we assume that those atom are distibuted evenly in the cubic centimeter

We then need to take the cube root of 1.13E23 = app. 48,345,881

So therefore 48.3 million 1 atom thick sheets of graphene can be stacked in 1 cm

So since 2.25 tons would have 4.83E7 sheets per cm x 100 for a meter

Therefore 1 meter would have 4.83E9 sheets of graphene

Now back to the density 1 cubic meter of Albany graphite = 2.25 tons

So 1 ton of Albany graphite could produce 1/2.25 x 4.83E9 = app. 2.15 billion, meter square, 1 atom thick sheets of graphene

Of course this is all theortical and actual yields and amounts would likely vary LOL
