Why use coal as a energy?
Coal is abundant and easy to harvest from the earth to produce electricity relative to nuclear energy. Solar energy is abundant but difficult to harvest compared to coal.
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Where does the energy of coal come from?
Coal energy comes from the sun. The coal is fossilized vegetation that grew in the sunshine eons ago. The vegetation took up the solar energy using photosynthesis and chlorophyll to produce green matter
For what is coal mainly used?
well its obvious isn't it ? its used to generate energy and produce fuel
What uses does coal have?
the uranium is a radioactive mineral that is used as a nuclear fuel to produce electric energy
Is burning coal mechanical energy?
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
What does coal and water have in common?
they both can produce energy.
What kind of energy does coal produce?
A coal plant can produce different amount of energy. It depends on the size of the plant.
What energy source would produce the most carbon dioxide?
Industrailisation.
Uranium fuel pellet used in nuclear power stations produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy as?
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
Why use coal as a energy?
Coal is abundant and easy to harvest from the earth to produce electricity relative to nuclear energy. Solar energy is abundant but difficult to harvest compared to coal.
What is renewable alternative to coal?
You can use many different things. some examples are: Bio-Fuel (still in development) Wind (not as reliable as coal) solar (doesn't produce as much energy as coal) hydro (doesn't produce as much energy as coal)
When the energy conversions that occur when coal is formed and then burned to produce thermal energy?
It turns into energy
What is a substance that can burns in order to produce heat or energy?
coal
What is something that is burnt to produce heat energy?
fuel, coal
Why isn't coal successful energy source?
While coal does produce a lot of energy, it is very bad for our environment, thus it is not as successful as we think it is.
Why do power plants rely on nuclear Energy?
To produce energy more than any other source can produce. A handful of Uranium can produce enough energy as the same as 4000 Train Load of coal [Given that each train load has around 15,000 Tons of Coal.]
