The same coal deposit is found to contain variable composition of coal.' Justify.

Answer»

SOLUTION :COAL is formed when wood and plant remains decompose in the absence of AIR. They contain car- bon, hydrogen andokygen. The process of gradual decomposition results in the increase of carbon CONTENT by the removal of hydrogen and oxygen in the form of water. As they become richer in car- hen, the quality of coal goes on inCreasing from the stage of peat to the stage of ANTHRACITE. This is the reason Why the same coal deposit may containof different compositions.
