Diamonds and coal both made of what?
Carbon!!!! Carbon has three allotropes, they are Diamond Graphite (coal) Buckyballs ( Buckminster Fullerene).
Are the coal and the diamond the same chemical material?
Yes, both are carbon and with different molecular structures.
Is lignite a form of coal?
Yes. Lignite is also known as brown coal. It is not exactly the same as coal (bituminous or anthracite) but it is near the beginning of the process that makes coal. Lignite has about 1/3 to 1/2 the carbon content of coal.
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.
Why does coal turn into diamonds?
Diamonds are not made of coal. Diamonds are made from carbon, which is also true of coal. Both are allotropes of carbon.
Is carbon and coal the same?
no they are not the same although commercial coal is made up of at least 70 % of carbon
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.
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....
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 carbon monoxide in coal?
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
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.
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.
