Coke is used in the preparation of :

  1. $CO+H _2$
  2. $CO+N _2$

  3. Graphite artificially

  4. Diamond artificially
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Coke is used in the preparation of water gas ($CO+H _2$), producer gas ($CO+N _2$) and graphite by artificial methods.

$C+H _2O\rightarrow CO+H _2$

$C+air\rightarrow CO+N _2$.

Hence options A,B and C are correct.

The density of coal is _______ when compared to coke.

  1. more

  2. less

  3. same

  4. can't say anything
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Coal is a naturally available substance whereas Coke is prepared substance  with some  impurities and high Carbon content, usually made from Coal.While Coal is Solid mass in physical appearance, Coke is Porous ( it means that it has large surface area ).

So the density of coal is more than the coke as coke is porous which has large surface area.

Hence option A is correct.
