How does spontaneous combustion in coal occur and what are the factors that contribute to this phenomenon?

Spontaneous combustion in coal happens when the coal self-heats and ignites without an external heat source. Factors that contribute to this phenomenon include the coal's composition, moisture content, particle size, and ventilation. When coal oxidizes, it releases heat, and if the heat cannot dissipate quickly enough, it can lead to spontaneous combustion.


Is oxygen a spontaneous combustion material?

Oxygen itself is not flammable but it supports rapid fire in materials that are. So it is completely barred from such places as wheat silos or flour mills etc.


Which element is always a reactant in a combustion reaction?

Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant. For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way: CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g) Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.


When checking the resistance of a heating element the meter shows 10.5 ohm Also from each end of the element to the ground shows 5 ohm This means that the element is?

Short circuit to ground. The element is not safe to use and when properly wired, will cause the fuse to blow. Without the earth wire it will be dangerous and the chassis will be at mains potential! The element is intact, but the insulation has broken down to earth.


What is the combustion equation for ethanol burned in oxygen?

Combustion of ethanol with oxygen: C2H5OH + 3 O2 --> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O + 'Heat'

Can soiled diapers cause spontaneous combustion?

No, soiled diapers cannot cause spontaneous combustion. Spontaneous combustion occurs when material self-heats and ignites without an external heat source, typically involving substances like oily rags or composting materials. Soiled diapers do not contain the necessary elements for spontaneous combustion to occur.
