Most of the Carbon in both coals and oils come from Flora and Fauna, i.e animals and plants. Over thousands of years the natural carbon from the lifeforms (usually from wet areas like swamps or shallow marine areas) are compressed, recieving a tonne of pressure, until eventually becoming coal seams that we see today.
Carbon in coal is oxidized to form carbon dioxide when coal undergoes combustion.
No, coal is not a carbon sink. In fact, burning coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
The main element in coal is carbon.
The main element in coal is carbon.
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.
No. Carbon monoxide is the product of burning fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum.
From prehistoric plants that died and turned to coal. Sometimes in underground coal mines we find a tree stump that is coal, but can still be recognized as a tree stump.
coal is made out of carbon because u need carbon to make coal
Carbon in coal is oxidized to form carbon dioxide when coal undergoes combustion.
coal is mainly carbon....
No, coal is not a carbon sink. In fact, burning coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
When coal is burnt the chemical change combines carbon from the coal with oxygen from the air to produce carbon dioxide.
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
The main element in coal is carbon.
The main element in coal is carbon.
pure carbon is coal, also diamonds are coal that was under a lot of pressure. so both diamonds and coal are pure carbon.
It comes from the latin word carbo, coal. Because coal is made mostly of carbon.(:
