Weight of the coal is 2g and after heating the coal sample, the weight of the coal is 1.82g. What is the % of the moisture in coal?(a) 20%(b) 9%(c) 10%(d) 30%I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I'm obligated to ask this question of Analysis of Coal and Selection topic in chapter Fuel Technologies of Applied Chemistry

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) 9%

To elaborate: We know that % of MOISTURE=[(w1-w2)/weight of coal]*100, where w1=weight of the coal sample, w2=weight of the coal after HEATING. After substituting the given VALUES in the formula, you’ll get 9% as an answer.

Here’s the CALCULATION step-by-step:

((2 – 1.82) / 2) * 100

==> (0.18/2) * 100

==> 0.09 * 100

==> 9%
