Chapter 22.5, Problem 35LC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation- To determine the characteristics that classify coal.

Answer to Problem 35LC

The two characters used to classify coal are:

  1. Hardness
  2. Carbon content.

Explanation of Solution

The first stage of coal formation is peat which is soft and has high water content. The next stage is lignite which is harder and has high carbon content. The next stage is bituminous which has lesser water content but high carbon content. Bituminous converts to harder coal and higher carbon content anthracite. Hence, coal can be classified based on two characteristics:

  1. Hardness
  2. Carbon content
