2. From the raw piece, coal is manufactured by________
a) under crushing
b) over crushing
c) perfectly crushed
d) powdered
Answer
Answer: c [Reason:] The coal is manufactured by perfectly crushing the raw piece because if the raw material is under crushed and over crushed then the chemical content varies and cannot be good for combustion.
3. The moisture content in the coal can be given by heating the coal for _____ hours.
a) 2
b) 1
c) 4
d) 6
Answer
Answer: b [Reason:] To determine the moisture content of the coal, the coal is heated at the temperature 105-1100C in a silica crucible for 1 hour later it is dried, cooled and weighed.
