What forms of coal has the highest carbon content?
Anthracite.
Which variety of coal contains the highest percentage of carbon?
Anthracite Coal
Which type of coal contains highest percentage of carbon?
Anthracite coal has the highest percentage of carbon among the different types of coal.
As coal forms how does its carbon content change?
It compacts and increases as moisture and volatile hydrocarbons are driven off. Coal has a carbon content between 75 and 90 % , lignite (brown coal) hasn't completed the transformation and contains more moisture and nitrogen than bituminous or anthracite coals. Lignite has about 30 to 40% carbon content.
Why is carbon content important in the burning of coal?
The higher the carbon content, the better the quality of the coal. In any piece of coal, whatever isn't carbon is logically something else - usually sulfur compounds (that's pollution when the coal is burned).

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.

Which coal is of highest quality?
anthracite about 90% carbon
What type of rock contains most carbon?
Coal.
Which kind of coal contains the most carbon?
anthracite
Diamonds and coal both made of what?
Carbon!!!! Carbon has three allotropes, they are Diamond Graphite (coal) Buckyballs ( Buckminster Fullerene).
Which type of coal contains 90 percent carbon and is smoke less?
Anthracite contains 92.1% to 98% carbon and it is smokeless.
Is coal an organic element?
No, coal is a mixture not an element, the liquid part of coal contains hundreds of organic compounds specially Aromatic compounds, but coal mainly contains Carbon as an element.
