Even though the temperature of coal and pockets formed by them is same still we observe that pockets seem to be brighter than coal because they form the cavity and act as a black body so radiations emitted by them are highest intensity.

Is Coal homogeneous?

Coal is only as homogeneous as the original materials from which it is formed. Many soft coals (lignites) are formed by the burial and compression etc, of forest or shrubland. Thus the coal formed from this will never be homogeneous, and you may find fossilized branches in the material. Many 'brown coals' give off much gas (methane) and this is a hazard to mining. Other coals are formed from mossy bogs, which were in a depression, and which continued to sink, with the moss continuing to fill the hollow. Many of these coals, buried and subject to compression and heat, form coals that are much more homogeneous. These coals, if buried sufficiently, give off very little gas, and are much darker in colour. The lowest rank of coal would be peat, which is not changed much from the original plant material. Rank then passes through the lignites and other brown coals, then through the black shiny coals to Anthracite, the highest grade of coal. Graphite may be considered the highest grade of coal, but is not as useful a fuel as the others.


Are coals hotter than flames?

No, coals are not hotter than flames. Flames are the visible, hot gases released during the combustion of a material, while coals are the solid remains of a material that has completed the combustion process. Flames are typically hotter than coals because they represent the active burning process.


How does heat and pressure affect the type of coal formed?

Heat and pressure during the process of coal formation determine the type of coal formed. The higher the heat and pressure, the more carbonaceous the coal becomes, resulting in higher carbon content and quality. Low heat and pressure conditions lead to the formation of low-grade coals like lignite, while high heat and pressure conditions promote the formation of high-grade coals like anthracite.


What is the name of bucket used for holding coals?

A bucket used for holding coals is typically called a coal bucket or a coal scuttle.


How is brown coal formed?

Brown Coals or Lignites are formed due to partial deoxygenation and dehydrogenation processes going on during the transformation of the dried vegetable matters into coal, due to which it contains high percentage of moisture
