What else can I help you with?
Is carbon the same as coal?
No, carbon and coal are not the same. Carbon is a chemical element that is found in many different forms, including coal, which is a solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of dead plants. Coal is a complex mixture of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements.
What is coal mainly made up of?
Carbon. Coal has a few different types and grades, but hard anthracite coal is almost pure carbon. Same as graphite, soot and diamonds.
What 5 elements make up coal?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The same as in your own proteins - except for the excess of carbon.
Are the coal and the diamond the same chemical material?
No, coal and diamond are not the same chemical material. Coal is primarily composed of carbon, while diamond is a pure form of carbon with a different crystal structure that gives it its unique properties, such as extreme hardness and brilliance.
Why coal made out of carbon?
coal is made out of carbon because u need carbon to make coal
Which element in the coal is oxidised to form carbon dioxide?
Carbon in coal is oxidized to form carbon dioxide when coal undergoes combustion.
Does coal use carbon dioxide?
coal is mainly carbon....
Is coal a carbon sink?
No, coal is not a carbon sink. In fact, burning coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
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.
Why do certain types of coal give off more carbon dioxide than other types of coal?
Coal is not all the same. Different coals have different amounts of carbon, Bituminous, or soft coals have the highest percentage of carbon, up to almost 90%, Anthracite or hard coals have close to 80% carbon content, and lignite, brown coals have about 40% carbon content. Carbon content is what determines how much CO2 is produced by coal's combustion.
When you burn coal does the mass stay the same?
Your question isn't rigorous enough. When you burn coal you are combining carbon from the coal with oxygen in the air. So the mass of Carbon Dioxide created is greater than the original mass of coal. There is no mass destroyed however, you just have to be more rigorous in the parameters of your question.
Is carbon monoxide in coal?
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
