Why does coal not give off water vapour while burning?

Coal does not give off water vapor while burning because coal is a solid fossil fuel composed primarily of carbon and other elements, but it does not contain hydrogen in significant amounts. Water vapor is a byproduct of combustion when hydrogen-containing fuels are burned. Since coal lacks hydrogen, it does not produce water vapor during the combustion process.


Why does burnt coal look white?

When coal is burnt, the carbon in the coal combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, releasing heat and energy. The white ash that remains after burning is mainly composed of non-combustible minerals present in the coal, such as silica, alumina, and calcium carbonate. These mineral residues give the burnt coal a whitish appearance.


What gives off more energy Anthracite coal or bituminous coal?

Anthracite coal typically gives off more energy than bituminous coal because it has a higher carbon content and burns more efficiently. This means that anthracite coal produces more heat per unit of weight when burned.


Why does Coal give off a large amount of carbon?

Coal is essentially made out of carbon and when that carbon is burned it combines with Oxygen in the air to produce CO (Carbon monoxide) and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) gases both of which contribute to global warming.


What is the process of generating electricity from coal?

Coal is burned in a furnace to heat water and create steam. The steam turns a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. The electricity is then sent out through power lines for use in homes and businesses.

Why coal does not give out water?

Coal is an allotrope of carbon. When burnt, coal will give carbon dioxide. Water is not formed, because there is no hydrogen in coal that will be oxidised to water.


Which method of generating electricity produces carbon dioxide?

How can the atmosphere be polluted?

Gasoline and diesel automobiles and trucks pollute as do industries which burn coal. Some industrial processes such as oil refineries give off gases which pollute. Cows give off methane.


Where did the energy in coal originate?

Not sure if this will answer your question, but I'll give it a shot. It's less about the fact that is is coal and more about the fact that coal gives off heat. When coal was first being used as a heat source, it was cheaper than wood and there was a lot of it. So really the origin of the energy is in the heat that the coal generates when on fire and less about the coal itself.

What fuels give out pollution when they are burned?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution which is causing global warming. The burning of coal releases other pollutants like sulphur dioxide (SO2) , nitrogen oxides (NOx) , mercury and aerosol particles. This causes acid rain, as well as bronchitis, asthma and other human illnesses.
