How do you convert Carbon to Carbon dioxide with regard to amount?
Carbon Dioxide is CO2, or 1 carbon atom for 2 oxygen atoms. To convert carbon to carbon dioxide, simply introduce energy to carbon in the presence of oxygen, i. e. burn coal.
How is coal converted to coke?
To convert coal into coke, the coal is burned in an oxygen-depleted environment. When this happens, the impurities of the coal are burnt up but the carbon remains. This is why coke is much lighter than coal.
Why coal made out of carbon?
coal is made out of carbon because u need carbon to make coal
Does coal use carbon dioxide?
coal is mainly carbon....
Is carbon the same as coal?
Yes, coal is composed from the element carbon.
How does the carbon in coal become part of the carbon dioxide in the air?
When coal is burnt the chemical change combines carbon from the coal with oxygen from the air to produce carbon dioxide.
Is coke is a pure form of carbon?
Coke is a relatively pure form of carbon. Coke is produced in a process designed to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds from bituminous coal, and to convert tarry materials -- compounds which contain carbon, hydrogen, and possibly a little oxygen -- to carbon. The coking process is not usually designed to get rid of soil nor ash from coal, and it is usually not particularly effective at doing so. There are many different grades of coal, but none of them are particularly pure forms of carbon. Anthracite, the highest grade, is 92-98% carbon, bituminous coal 60-75% carbon, while lignite, "brown coal", is typically only 25-35% carbon.
Is carbon monoxide in coal?
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
Diamonds and coal both made of what?
Carbon!!!! Carbon has three allotropes, they are Diamond Graphite (coal) Buckyballs ( Buckminster Fullerene).
Who produces pure carbon?
pure carbon is coal, also diamonds are coal that was under a lot of pressure. so both diamonds and coal are pure carbon.
Why carbon is called carbon?
It comes from the latin word carbo, coal. Because coal is made mostly of carbon.(:
Why is anthracite black?
Anthracite is a form of coal, coal is primary carbon, and carbon is black.
