Multiple choice chemistry rocks and minerals coal and its products study of coal coal

Coal gas is mixture of:

  1. $CH _4+H _2+CO _2+H _2S$
  2. $CH _4+H _2+CO+H _2S$
  3. $CH _4+H _2+CO$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Coal gas, gaseous mixture—mainly hydrogen ($H _2$), methane ($CH _4$), and carbon monoxide  ($CO$) — formed by the destructive distillation (i.e., heating in the absence of air) of bituminous coal and used as a fuel. Sometimes steam is added to react with the hot coke, thus increasing the yield of gas. Coal tar and coke are obtained as by-products.

Water gas consists of:

  1. water vapour and coal dust

  2. a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen

  3. a mixture of carbon monoxide and nitrogen

  4. water vapour and methane
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Water gas. Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced from synthesis gas. Synthesis gas is a useful product, but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

A solid fuel formed by heating coal in the absence of air is:

  1. hydrogen

  2. coke

  3. methane

  4. coal tar

B Correct answer
Explanation

A solid fuel formed by heating coal in the absence of air is coke. Coke is black colored, tough porous substance. It is pure carbon. It has applications in steel manufacture and in the metallurgy.

Which one is a better fuel, coal or coke?

  1. Coke is a better fuel because coke produces more heat on burning as compared to coal

  2. Coal is a better fuel because coal does not produce more heat on burning as compared to coke

  3. Both are of equal efficiency

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Coke is a better fuel because coke  produces more heat on burning as compared to coal. Coke has higher calorific value than coal. When equal masses of coke and coal are bunt, coke produces more heat. Also when coke is burnt, smoke is not obtained whereas coal produces smoke on coal.

_________ is produced by passing air over red-hot coke.

  1. Natural gas

  2. Producer gas

  3. Biomass

  4. Biogas
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Coke is used in the preparation of producer gas which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and nitrogen. Producer gas is produced by passing air over red-hot coke. Coke is also used to manufacture water gas.

Natural coke is also called as:

  1. carbonite coke

  2. bakelite

  3. petroleum fuel

  4. none of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Natural coke is also called as carbonite coke. It is formed by metamorphism from bituminous coal when intrusive igneous rock cuts across vein of coal.
